Music

Tuning

Old Shalian and Idosian sources describe a just intonation system based on ratios of 3 and 5, which was much like the system of 22 shrutis described in early Indian works.

Physicist Bów'ti Ma'kbów'tfais tried to extend the 22-note system to make it more compatible with playing various tetrachords found in Hetomic music theory. The result was a scale of 34 notes per octave.

As later Shalian music saw a move away from tetrachords and towards more harmonic chords, emphasizing 7-limit intervals became desirable, thus also using a 22-note well-tempered scale with good harmonic sevenths. Modern Shalian music is standardized to 22-tone equal temperament.
