 Physicist Bów'ti Ma'kbów'tfais tried to extend the 22-note system to make it more compatible with playing various tetrachords found in Hetomic music theory. The result was a scale of 34 notes per octave.
-As later Shalian music saw a move away from tetrachords and towards more harmonic, chord-based sounds, emphasizing 7-limit intervals became desirable. Thus fixed pitch instruments were tuned to 22-note well-tempered scale with good harmonic sevenths. Modern Shalian music is standardized to 22-tone equal temperament but this does not always reflect musical reality, as Shalian vocal music may go outside this system.
