In tuning, the '''inverse-arithmetic mean''', '''utonal mean''', or '''length mean''' generates new pitch materials by taking the mean in the inverse-arithmetic scale of pitch i.e. the scale proportional to the length of a string to be divided.

It can be said with respect to pitches in frequency as well as intervals in frequency ratios on a certain common fundamental. | ||
