===Early Gweats court music===
The earliest surviving Gweats court music continues the early tradition of overtone scales based on one fundamental. The scales were based on overtones 5-10, overtones 6-12 or overtones 7-14, depending on the status of the client. But the scales often had other notes added to allow more interesting melodies. Rhythmic devices such as syncopation and polyrhythms were also used.
