Here are all meantone tunings that can be written in the form "n-comma meantone", where n is a fraction between 0 and 1 with a denominator 18 or smaller. Also included are 7edo and 12edo (to delineate MOS shapes), as well as a few other notable meantone tunings (e.g. 4/25-comma).
The comma being divided here is the syntonic comma (81/80).
Temperaments that fall outside of the diamond monotone range will not provide most of the advantages that meantone usually provides, but they are included for completeness.
