'''Bjeheondian music''' is a monophonic tradition based on [[Netagin]] music.
== Tuning ==
Bjeheondian music often appears "microtonal" or "xenharmonic" from our modern Western perspective, though pentatonic-like scales can be used. In modern times it is usually notated based on a diatonic-based notation with accidentals for non-fifth-based notes. However, real-world intonational practices are not fixed to a particular tuning and use traditional microtonal inflections or fine-tuned intervals, and they differ by region and context. Both court and folk music use melodies based on either scales similar to our pentatonic scale, diatonic-like scales, or the semiquartal (5L 4s MOS) scale, the nine-note scale LLSLSLSLS which is an extension of the familiar pentatonic scale; restriction of melodies to the pentatonic scale shows up sometimes. Diatonic-like melodic shapes sometimes arise as a consequence of altering the semiquartal scale.


A ''hanier'' /hɐ'nɪɾ/ (literally 'stepping'; Wdm. ''hănier'') consists of a set of nine movable pitches plus a choice of which subset to emphasize, either a set of two ''pezům'' /pɛ'zuəm/ (pentachords, lit. 'set of five'; Nurian ''seałŧaļ'', Wdm. ''păsuam'') or a framework based on a ''buri'' /by'ɾi/ (lit. 'sprint'; Wdm. ''büri''), a pentatonic subset where the small step of 5L 4s is not used as a step. Different styles encourage different subset use.
'''Tumhanian music''' is a monophonic tradition based on [[Anbirese]]/[[Netagin]] music called the ''hanier'' (Ntg. 'stepping') tradition, which in modern times is based on pentatonic scale subsets of 24 equal divisions of the octave. The premise of the ''hanier'' tradition is "What if Arabic maqam was pentatonic and neutralized 2L3s (the Western pentatonic scale), instead of being heptatonic and neutralizing 5L2s (the diatonic scale)?"

== Harmony in the semiquartal scale==
Semiquartal modal harmony (harmony is referred to with the neologism ''vynqůr'' '(the gestalt result of) difference [referring to different pitches sounded simultaneously]' or with the Eevo word ''eeclind'') is a modern construct. A particular style of it pioneered by the Trician xenharmonic community Brycþéñ lly Frindu Jydylisríz has gained some popularity in the Windermere Commonwealth, and "popular hanier" has begun incorporating it.
Modes of the 9-note scale are called ''hăćemaś'' (sg. ''hăćemeś'', lit. mask). These are distinct from the traditional ''hanier''s.
 
L = C-D, s = C-C# (C-C half-sharp in 24edo)

Functional harmony is based on using 4L 1s modes and their subsets on functional degrees.

Bjeheondian rhythm is based on complex rhythmic cycles known as ''tălea'' in Windermere (from Ntg. ''talea'', from t-l-j "to return, to cycle"), often consisting of more than 10 beats per "measure". (Steal from konnakol)

Tumhanian music is a monophonic tradition based on Anbirese/Netagin music called the hanier (Ntg. 'stepping') tradition, which in modern times is based on pentatonic scale subsets of 24 equal divisions of the octave. The premise of the hanier tradition is "What if Arabic maqam was pentatonic and neutralized 2L3s (the Western pentatonic scale), instead of being heptatonic and neutralizing 5L2s (the diatonic scale)?"

Buris

The buri (Ntg. 'sprint') is roughly equivalent to the jins in Arabic music. However, they usually span a fifth instead of a fourth.
