Theory
330edo has a flat tendency, with its harmonics 3, 5, and 7 tuned progressively flatter. In the 11-limit, the 330e val ⟨330 523 766 926 1141] scores significantly better in TE error than its patent val ⟨330 523 766 926 1142] and allows an extension to the 13-limit.
The equal temperament tempers out 32805/32768 (schisma) in the 5-limit; 250047/250000 (landscape comma), 703125/702464 (meter) and 4802000/4782969 (canousma) in the 7-limit. Using the 330e val, it tempers out 385/384 (keenanisma), 9801/9800 (kalisma), and 14641/14580 (semicanousma) in the 11-limit; 847/845 (cuthbert) and 1001/1000 (sinbadma) in the 13-limit.
It provides a nice tuning for keenanismic, the rank-4 temperament that tempers out 385/384 (even better than its optimal patent val 284edo), and actually a close-to-optimal tuning for 11-limit semicanou, the rank-3 temperament that tempers out 9801/9800 and 14641/14580.
