When tetrachords from Hetom became popular, scholar Bów'ti Ma'kbów'tfais tried to extend the early 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. | When tetrachords from Hetom became popular, scholar Bów'ti Ma'kbów'tfais tried to extend the early 22-note system to make it more compatible with playing various tetrachords found in Hetomic music theory.

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 | 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 scales with good harmonic sevenths.
