Older music uses JI scales (a variety of them; or free JI?) and some temperaments (mostly as approximations to JI; perhaps also a "more prototypical" temperament like say 22edo). Scúdhainn (~ 200 years BP) defined the concept of linear temperaments and was the first to use some rank-2 temperaments in her musical œuvre. (Matrices were known by then!)

Folk and popular music prefers "simpler" harmonic series based scales - e.g. 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 or 5-/7-limit diamonds
