| '''Netagin music''', both classical and modern, is usually based on 19 equal divisions of the octave (19edo), a chain-of-fifths tuning where E# is equated to Fb instead of E# = F as in 12edo. 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.

| A ''haňier'' /hɐɲɪɾ/ (literally 'stepping') consists of a nine-note scale plus which subsets to emphasize, either a set of two ''byri'' /bɨ'ɾi/ (pentachords or hexachords) or a ''pezum'' /pɛ'zym/, a pentatonic subset where 1\19 is not used as a step. Different styles encourage different subset use.

| ==''Buri''s==
| |
| In theory, the six possible ''buri''s with large (C-D) and small (C-C#) steps that build up a scale are:
| |
| #C-D-E-E#-F
| |
| #C-D-Ebb-E#-F
| |
| #C-D-Ebb-Eb-F
| |
| #C-Dbb-Ebb-E#-F
| |
| #C-Dbb-Ebb-Eb-F
| |
| #C-Dbb-Db-E#-F
| |
| 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:
| |
| *C-D#-F-G-A#-C ("the most neutral-sounding")
| |
| *C-D-E-G-A-C ("mellow and joyful")
| |
| *C-D-E-G-A#-C ("majestic")
| |
| *C-D#-E#-G-A#-C ("slightly sad")
| |
| **Variant: C-D-E#-G-A#-C
| |
| *C-D#-E#-G#-A-C ("slightly anxious and distressed")
| |
| *C-Eb-F-G-Bb-C
| |
| Rarer ''pezum''s:
| |
| *C-Eb-F-G-A#-Cb ("exotic")
| |
| *C-D#-F#-Ab-Bb-C 0-250-550-800-1000-1200 ("disoriented")
| |

| |
| ==Modal harmony==
| |
| Godzilla[9] modal harmony is a more modern construct and is a staple of modern Netagin popular music, such as rock, metal and electronic music.
