229edo
Theory
While not highly accurate for its size, 229edo is the point where a few important temperaments meet, and is distinctly consistent in the 11-odd-limit. The equal temperament tempers out 393216/390625 (würschmidt comma) and [39 -29 3⟩ (tricot comma) in the 5-limit; 2401/2400, 3136/3125, 6144/6125, and 14348907/14336000 in the 7-limit; 3025/3024, 3388/3375, 8019/8000, 14641/14580 and 15488/15435 in the 11-limit, notably supporting hemiwürschmidt, newt, and trident.
It extends less well to the 13-limit. Using the patent val ⟨229 363 532 643 792 847], it tempers out 351/350, 1573/1568, 2080/2079, and 4096/4095. Using the alternative 229f val ⟨229 363 532 643 792 848], it tempers out 352/351, 729/728, 1001/1000, and 1716/1715.
Higher harmonics like 17, 19, and 23 are well approximated, so it shows great potential in the no-13 23-limit. It tempers out 561/560, 1089/1088, and 1701/1700 in the 17-limit; 476/475, 1216/1215, 1445/1444, and 1540/1539 in the 19-limit; and 484/483, 576/575 and 736/735 in the 23-limit.
The 229b val supports a septimal meantone close to the CTE tuning.
