'''Netagin music''', both classical and modern, is usually taught 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. Before the invention of electronic tuners, this temperament could be realized by tuning a chain of 19 pure 5/3 minor sixths, 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 331313131 ~~(called godzilla[9] in regular temperament theory; which also exists in 24edo, 43edo and 62edo which are sometimes preferred specifically for tuning this scale)~~ which is an extension of the familiar pentatonic scale. This article mainly deals with the use of the nonatonic scale in Netagin music.

Liturgical chanting is not fixed to a particular tuning and may use traditional microtonal inflections or fine-tuned intervals.
