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)

Netagin music

Modern Netagin music is usually in 19edo. However, in some contexts (such as traditional styles based on semaphore temperament), a tuning closer to 24edo is preferred; so 24edo will be assumed when describing them.

Liturgical and folk music is semaphore[9]-based.

A haṅier (literally 'stepping') consists of a nine-note scale plus which subsets to emphasize, either a set of two buri (pentachords or hexachords) or a pezeom, a pentatonic subset where 1\24 is not used as a step. Different styles encourage different subset use.

Buris

In theory, the six possible buris that build up a scale are:

1. 0-200-400-450-500
2. 0-200-250-450-500
3. 0-200-250-300-500
4. 0-50-250-450-500
5. 0-50-250-300-500
6. 0-50-100-300-500 (rare)

In practice, usually only the first five are used. The two buris may be conjunct (consecutive, spanning a minor seventh) or disjunct (separated by a major second).

The top note of a buri functions similarly to the ghammaz in Arabic ajnas.

A style that emphasizes buris is preferred for dark, mournful or creepy music (to emphasizing pezeoms).

Pezeoms

Common pezeoms are:

• 0-250-500-700-950-1200 ("the most neutral-sounding")
• 0-200-400-700-900-1200 ("mellow and joyful")
• 0-200-400-700-950-1200 ("majestic")
• 0-250-450-700-950-1200 ("slightly sad")
• 0-200-450-700-950-1200
• 0-250-500-750-950-1200
• 0-250-450-750-950-1200
• 0-300-500-700-1000-1200
• 0-300-500-700-950-1150
• 0-250-550-800-1000-1200

Pezeoms in various semaphore[9] modes:

• Megalonian (LLsLsLsLs): 0-200-400-700-900 (meantone pentatonic), 0-200-400-700-950, 0-200-450-700-900, 0-200-450-700-950
• Biollantian (LsLLsLsLs): 0-200-450-700-900, 0-250-450-700-900, 0-200-450-700-950, 0-250-450-700-950
