'''Netagin classical music''' is based on 19 equal divisions of the octave (19edo). The tuning was realized by tuning a chain of 19 pure 6/5 minor thirds, which approximates the tuning to less than 3 [[w:cent (music)|cents]] of error. Though 19edo is a meantone tuning like 12edo and diatonic music is not uncommon 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 familiar pentatonic scale. This article mainly deals with the use of godzilla[9] in Netagin music; interval sizes will be given as their counterparts in 24edo for convenience's sake.


A ''haňier'' (literally 'stepping') consists of a nine-note scale plus which subsets to emphasize, either a set of two ''buri'' (pentachords or hexachords) or a ''pezum'', 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 disjunct (separated by a major second), or conjunct (either spanning a minor seventh above the root or the major second above the root).
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 ''pezum''s).
==''Pezum''s==
''Pezum''s are said to sound brighter.
Common ''pezum''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 ''pezum''s:
==Modal harmony==
Godzilla[9] modal harmony is a more modern construct and is often used in popular music, such as rock, metal and electronic music.
