Netagin music is traditionally based on 19edo. Though 19edo is a meantone tuning and meantone music exists in Netagin culture, liturgical and folk music is usually based on the nine-note MOS scale (called godzilla[9] in regular temperament theory) which is an extension of the pentatonic scale. Herebelow godzilla[9] interval sizes will be given in 24edo for convenience's sake.


A ''haṅier'' (literally 'stepping') consists of a nine-note scale plus which subsets to emphasize, either a set of two ''buri'' (pentachords or hexachords) or a ''pezeom'', a pentatonic subset where 1\24 is not used as a step. Different styles encourage different subset use.
==''Buri''s==
In theory, the six possible ''buri''s that build up a scale are:
#0-200-400-450-500
#0-200-250-450-500
#0-200-250-300-500
#0-50-250-450-500
#0-50-250-300-500
#0-50-100-300-500 (rare)
In practice, usually only the first five are used. The two ''buri''s may be conjunct (consecutive, spanning a minor seventh) or disjunct (separated by a major second).
The top note of a ''buri'' functions similarly to the ''ghammāz'' in Arabic ''ajnās''.
A style that emphasizes ''buri''s is preferred for dark, mournful or creepy music (to emphasizing ''pezeom''s).
==''Pezeom''s==
''Pezeom''s are said to sound brighter.
Common ''pezeom''s are:
*0-250-500-700-950-1200 ("the most neutral-sounding")
*0-200-400-700-900-1200 ("mellow and joyful")
*0-200-400-700-950-1200 ("majestic")
*0-250-450-700-950-1200 ("slightly sad")
**variant: 0-200-450-700-950-1200
*0-250-500-750-950-1200 ("in pain")
*0-300-500-700-1000-1200
*0-300-500-700-950-1150
*0-250-550-800-1000-1200 ("disoriented")
Rarer ''pezeom''s:
