A ''haṅier'' (literally 'stepping') consists of a scale (a choice of pitches relative to the tonic) plus which subsets to emphasize, either a set of two ''buri'' (pentachords or hexachords; used in liturgical music) or a ''pezeom'' (a pentatonic subset where 1\24 is not used as a step; used in folk music).

EDOs easier to tune than 12edo by ear: 19 (6/5), 24 (11/6 and 11/8), 26 (7/4), 27 (7/6 and 6/5, or 1/3-comma superpyth), 31(quarter comma meantone), 36 (7/6 and 3/2), 46 (11/7 and 9/5), 53 (3/2)

Liturgical music

Semaphore[9]-based. The tuning is 24edo like in Arabic theory, but this is a very different application of 24edo. 19edo tuning may also be used.

A haṅier (literally 'stepping') consists of a scale (a choice of pitches relative to the tonic) plus which subsets to emphasize, either a set of two buri (pentachords or hexachords; used in liturgical music) or a pezeom (a pentatonic subset where 1\24 is not used as a step; used in folk music).

The six possible pentachords in semaphore[9]: 4411 4141 4114 1441 1414 1144

Common pezeoms are:

  • C-Dh-F-G-Ah-C (symmetric semaphore)
  • C-Dh-Eh-G-Ah-C
  • C-D-Eh-G-Ah-C (8:9:12:14 extended to an essentially tempered 9-odd limit pentad)
  • C-D-E-G-A-C (meantone major pentatonic)
  • C-D-F-G-Bb-C
  • C-Eb-F-G-Bb-C (rare)
