60edo is a highly composite EDO, and some its multiples are notable for their consistency limits, such as 2460edo, which is a zeta edo.

Minutes

Defined as the 2460 & 4320 temperament, starting with the 13-limit. Named "minutes" for period-60, since there's 60 minutes in an hour. In light of 12 being a divisor of 60, minutes tempers out the Kirnberger's atom, and in the limits below 13, it's a contorted atomic temperament.

Magnetismic microtemperaments

All these temperaments temper out the magnetisma, a 2.3.29.43 subgroup comma which when tempered sets the 87/86 interval to 1/60th of the octave, and thus all these temperaments have a period that maps to 87/86.

Neodymium magnet

An extension of neodymium. Defined just as neodymium in 1920 & 4380, except adds a mapping for 29 and 43 via the fact that 87/86 is very close to 1/60th of the octave. and thus the extension is called "neodymium magnet". Defined starting with 2.3.5.29.43 all the way into the 2.3.5.7.11.13.17.19.23.29.43 subgroup, and unlike plain neodymium, addition of .29.43 harmonics saves it from contorsion.
