The notes are called 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. 0 of the 2nd dekatave is written as 0₂ and has a frequency of 115.741 Hz, which is 100 vibrations per new second (1/100000 of a day). Music is written with a jianpu-style notation (called the ''ciphersystem'') which has been adopted worldwide in the early 20th century. | The notes are called 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. 0 of the 2nd dekatave is written as 0₂ and has a frequency of 115.741 Hz, which is 100 vibrations per new second (1/100000 of a day or 0.864 Earth#12 seconds).

There are three main modes used in composition: dicot[7], called Durmoll (seen above), 5edo, and 10edo. Traditionally the main triad in most classical and folk-style music is taken to be [0 3 6], or what is known here as the neutral triad. This triad on note X is called Xt. Degree arithmetic is assumed to be modulo 10. | There are three main modes used in composition: dicot[7], called Durmoll (seen above), 5edo, and 10edo.

Pieces or sections of pieces written in Durmoll or something similar have a strong resemblance to the music of the Classical period and traditional Western harmony is applied accordingly. Modern orchestral works from the Late Romantic onwards use both modes relatively equally. | Pieces or sections of pieces written in Durmoll or something similar have a strong resemblance to the music of the Classical period and traditional Western harmony is applied accordingly.

Intervals are called the unison, first, second... ninth, dekatave, first-and-dekatave, second-and-dekatave... ninth-and-dekatave, double dekatave. | |||
The Italian sixth on 0 is [7 0 5], the French sixth is [7 0 2 5], and the German sixth [7 0 3 5]. All resolve to the triad on the sixth above 0. | |||

Notes are written exactly like in jianpu, but with no accidentals and using the numerals 0 to 9 for the note names. The default dekatave number is taken to be the number of the dekatave prescribed by the clef. | Notes are written exactly like in jianpu, but with no accidentals and using the numerals 0 to 9 for the note names.

===4-part harmony=== | |||
* A fifth must always be succeeded with a first in the opposite direction. | |||
* Parallel dekataves and sixths are not allowed (in the usual manner as exposed octaves and fifths in OTL harmony). | |||

There are two keyboard layouts commonly used today for modern music, the 'English' and 'German' layouts. The 'English' layout is used in New Pythagorean (see below) works and jazz works but the 'German' keyboard is used for classical-style works. Both may be used in the course of a single work. | |||

Earth#10 jazz music has more African influence in its instrumentation as well, with modern balafons and electric (and acoustic) koras and kamele ngoni being extremely common in jazz and other popular musical styles. As such, European instruments are sparingly used in jazz, and hence the saxophone is more commonly used in the orchestra. | Earth#10 jazz music has more African influence in its instrumentation as well, with modern balafons and electric (and acoustic) koras and kamele ngoni being extremely common in jazz and other popular musical styles.

Due to the influence of Nystrom, hexadecimal (called nystromal in this universe, to distinguish it from "tonal" referring to music) is used as an official number base across the larger cities in Northern Europe, the Northwestern European Union, and some formerly colonial cities in Asia. Nystromal is also used and accepted in most dual-mode calculators and is even used and accepted in many large research journals. | Due to the influence of Nystrom, hexadecimal (called nystromal in this universe, to distinguish it from "tonal" referring to music) is used as an official number base across the larger cities in Northern Europe, the Northwestern European Union, and some formerly colonial cities in Asia.

Called variously ''Interlangue'', ''Tussentaal'', ''the Betweenspeak'', and ''Zwischensprache'' (the name used in this article), it originally was formed as a pidgin language in the 19th to 20th centuries due to frequent contact of people of France, Holland, and the United Kingdom. It has several names due to there not being a standardized grammar or lexicon for the language yet, however, there were a few attempts to do so. It has also been theorized that this forms a dialect continuum with the French and Dutch dialects forming the ends thereof, with the British dialect somewhat in the middle. | Called variously ''Interlangue'', ''Tussentaal'', ''the Betweenspeak'', and ''Zwischensprache'' (the name used in this article), it originally was formed as a pidgin language in the 19th to 20th centuries due to frequent contact of people of France, Holland, and the United Kingdom.

Cajun (formerly Louisiana French) diverged far enough from French that it can be considered a separate language. It is mainly spoken in Louisiana with other Cajun-speaking communities in South America. | Cajun (formerly Louisiana French) diverged far enough from French that it can be considered a separate language.

This is the equivalent of Toki Pona in this universe. It has exactly 256 words, equally distributed between Germanic, Romance, Austronesian, and Sino-Tibetan, with some words from other language families. It is also the official language of the New Pythagorean movement since its adoption in 2011. | This is the equivalent of Toki Pona in this universe.
