0: A fancy way to say “pitchless”.
1: Equivalent to 2-limit JI. Not much about harmony. Possibly useful for a transition between different tunings.

6: Incomplete 12.
...
12: A good tuning for almost all music, but maybe not perfect. Very excellent 3/2 as well as prime 17 and 19 for its size. Easy to make accurate NEJIs.
...
15: Better than it seems to be, tho still rough. A heavily stretched Carlos Alpha scale.
...
17: Interesting sharp fifths.
...
19: Meantone, but with a too flat fifth. Stran. Also a compressed Carlos Beta. 31 is more preferable. The lower bound of a good fifth.
...
22: Good superpyth and porcupine tuning. The higher bound of a good fifth.
...
24: 12 with neutral intervals. Good for prime 11.
...
31: Ideal for pure-octave meantone, combining lots of 11-limit extensions in a single tuning. For other temperaments its flat fifth is a drawback.
..
34: 17 with prime 5.
...
36: Incomplete 72.
37: Everything but prime 3. Maybe interesting though.
...
50: Good flatter meantone, but I usually just go for golden meantone at this level of precision.
...
53: Almost just 3/2, and accurate 7-limit. Purely an approximation of JI.
...
72: An excellent extension of 12 and 24.
