Template:EDO intro

590edo has the same tuning as the 118edo in the 5-limit and provides a good correction for the harmonics 7, 11, and 13, altogether being consistent in the 15-odd-limit. Among the 118th-octave temperaments, it by definition tunes parakleischis as well as centenniamajor in the 590ee val.

Besides that, it is a tuning for the quintaschis temperament in the 7-limit.
