'''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 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.

The most common diatonic modes in liturgical music are the Locrian and the Locrian #6. If necessary they are approximated with 19edo, for example for Locrian the 7-note subset 0-1-4-8-9-12-15-19 of the ''Pahnačie'' (sLsLsLLsL) mode is used.
