This page is part of a worldbuilding project. It describes musical tuning concepts from a fictional or alternate world, rather than the real world. This does not mean that it can’t be used to make real music — it still could be; it just means this article shouldn’t be used as a factual source about real history or traditions. (Please see our worldbuilding policy for more.)
This page or section is a work in progress. It may lack sufficient justification, content, or organization, and is subject to future overhaul.

The people of Earth#26 use 26edo as an 11-limit system, with 13 sometimes added. The temperament it is mainly used for is flattone.

Theory

Mosdiatonic is used in Earth#26 and is the basis of their music theory. In the full 11-limit, it is thought of as a center to inflect outwards from.

The conventional major and minor chords are tetrads. "Major" refers to the approximate 4:5:6:7 (0\26 8\26 15\26 21\26), while "minor" refers to the approximate 70:84:105:120 (0\26 7\26 15\26 20\26). A raw approximate 4:5:6 major triad usually implies a 7/4 voicing above the root, while a raw approximate 10:12:15 implies a 12/7 voicing above the root.
