'''Netagin music''', both classical and modern, is usually based on 19 equal divisions of the octave (19edo), a [[w:Regular diatonic tuning|diatonic 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 also exists in 24edo, 43edo and 62edo which are sometimes preferred) 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.
