'''Netagin music''' is traditionally based on 19 equal divisions of the octave (19edo). 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 pentatonic scale. Herebelow godzilla[9] interval sizes will be given in 24edo for convenience's sake. | '''Netagin music''' is traditionally based on 19 equal divisions of the octave (19edo).
