Theory

64edo has two options of fifth equally far from just. The sharp fifth is inherited from 32edo and produces a hard superpythagorean scale, while the flat fifth is within the meantone/flattone range, supporting flattone temperament.

Still, the patent val tempers out 648/625 in the 5-limit and 225/224 in the 7-limit, plus 66/65, 121/120 and 441/440 in the 11-limit and 144/143 in the 13-limit. It provides the optimal patent val in the 7-, 11- and 13-limits for the 16&64 temperament, which would perhaps be of more interest if it was lower in badness.

64be val is a tuning for the beatles temperament and for the rank-3 temperaments heimlaug and vili in the 17-limit. 64bccc tunes dichotic, although that is an exotemperament. 64cdf is a tuning for vibhu.
