137edo
Theory
137edo provides the optimal patent val for 7-limit orwell temperament and for the planar temperament tempering out 2430/2401. It tempers out 2109375/2097152 (semicomma) in the 5-limit; 225/224 and 1728/1715 in the 7-limit; 243/242 in the 11-limit; 351/350 in the 13-limit; 375/374 and 442/441 in the 17-limit; and 324/323 and 495/494 in the 19-limit.
