There are three kinds of systems:
1) Two eleven-limit diamonds spaced a perfect fifth apart, or two (1...13)x(1...1/7) diamonds spaced a perfect fifth apart
2) A cross set (1...15)x(1...15)
3) An Euler-Fokker genus 3⁴x5²x7²
19th century (popular)
Chinese Theory
- experiments in pythagorean tuning followed by the discovery of 12- and 53-tone MOS scales
- higher limit tonalities introduced by throat-singers; subsequent treatises describe otonality as yin (qürm) and utonality as yang (läŋ)
- musical theater, orchestra, Partchian ideas
European Theory
- Babylonians independently discover pythagorean tuning and Greeks extend it into genera
- poly-pythagorean chains introduced by Jewish theorists to explain the enharmonic genus
