Naquian music uses 7-tone scales rich in neutral thirds. Scales are abstractly viewed as subsets of 27 equal divisions of the octave. The 3L 4s MOS scale (5 3 3 5 3 5 3) may be used, but they use other, non-MOS 7-note scales too. The quasi-equal 6L 1s MOS scale (4 4 4 4 4 4 3) in 27edo is mainly used as a reference point, in that notation is based on the 6L 1s scale in the same way that Western notation is based on the diatonic scale. | Naquian music uses 7-tone scales rich in neutral thirds.

Movement by one step of 27edo is usually avoided, since it is difficult to sing. | |||
Historically other micro-divisions have been used or proposed - especially 27-well temperaments, 17-well temperaments or 17-equal. | Historically other micro-divisions have been used or proposed - especially 27-well temperaments, 17-well temperaments or 17-equal. | ||
