	In 2020 music educator [[Adam Neely]] picked up the term and used it in his [[7th Level of Jazz Harmony\|Seven Levels of Jazz Harmony]], with a somewhat different and rather ambiguous intent, where he seemed to describe the use of a tempered scale (often [[12edo]]) for the lead melody of a piece. The current melody note at any given point in time is then treated as a reference pitch, and the current backing chord uses pure just intonation, tuned relative to the current reference pitch. In a sense this is an inverse form of [[adaptive just intonation]] where the bass line adjusts to a tempered scale and the melody and harmony notes tune to it.

	Intonalism was developed by [[William Copper]] over the period from 2009 - 2016; during this development then-active members of the various Facebook xen harmony pages contributed ideas and suggestions. In Copper's usage, all tonal areas relate to each other using [[5-limit]] just intonation but there is no reason that more extended tonal relations could not be based on higher limit pure intervals.
