129edo is inconsistent to the 5-odd-limit and both harmonics 3 and 5 are about halfway between its steps. It is the last patent val that tempers out 81/80 so as to support meantone and its higher-limit expansions. It also tempers out 1029/1024 and 1728/1715 in the 7-limit; 176/175 and 540/539 in the 11-limit; 507/500, 676/675 and 847/845 in the 13-limit; 221/220 in the 17-limit; 171/170 and 286/285 in the 19-limit. It provides the optimal patent val for the 11-limit rank-3 clio temperament.

Subsets and supersets

Since 129 factors into 3 × 43, 129edo contains 3edo and 43edo as its subsets.
