Theory

986edo is a good 2.3.7.11 subgroup tuning, but it is inconsistent to the 5-odd-limit and larger due to a high error on the 5th harmonic. 986edo has an excellent 11th harmonic, being the denominator of a convergent to log₂11, after 949 and before 1935. In the 2.3.7.11 subgroup, 986edo can be used with optional additions of either 17, 23, 29, or 31.

In the 2.3.7 subgroup, 986edo tempers out the garischisma, and is a strong tuning for 2.3.7.11-subgroup gary. It also tempers out 19712/19683, 41503/41472 in the 2.3.7.11 subgroup.
