Negri forms 9-note and 10-note [[mos scale]]s, Negri[9] and Negri[10], at [[1L 8s]] and [[9L 1s]] respectively. In [[19edo]], the negri generator is the diatonic half-step of 2\19, which allows these mosses to be written fairly simply in conventional notation. For example, the ssssLssss mode of 19edo could be written as E F Gb G# A B C Db D# E. This mode is particularly useful as it has identical ssss pentachords (analogous to the [[tetrachord]]s of classical Greek music theory) on the 1/1 and 3/2. It is also notable in that a subset of these notes form the E double harmonic major scale, E F G# A B C D# E, which features in a wide variety of world musical traditions.

Another useful mode of Negri[9] is Lssssssss, which in 19edo would be A B C Db D# E F Gb G# A. This has a minor triad (A–C–E) for a tonic chord, which can be extended to a 7-limit utonal tetrad (A–C–E–Gb), as well as 7-limit otonal tetrads on E and F that can function as, respectively, a dominant seventh chord and a German augmented sixth chord. This scale also contains the popular Hungarian minor mode of the double harmonic scale, A B C D# E F G# A. | |||
4 of the 9 modes of Negri[9] are like the Locrian mode of the diatonic major scale in that they do not have a note a perfect 5th above the tonic.

Negri is a regular temperament generated by a generator of approximately 125 cents, which can be identified with a tempered 16/15, such that:
- Two of them make a tempered 7/6~8/7~15/13;
- Three of them make a tempered 5/4~16/13;
- Four of them make a tempered 4/3.
It is most naturally viewed as a 2.3.5.7.13-subgroup temperament, tempering out 49/48, 65/64 and 91/90. This is sometimes called negra, and it is realized consistently in 19edo and 29edo. Other edos which may be usable as a negri or negra tuning include 9edo, 10edo, 28edo, 47edo, and 48edo, all of which are consistent through (at least) the 5-odd-limit, since in the broadest sense, negri is defined as tempering out the negri comma in the 5-limit.
The 7-limit version can also be viewed as joining with the marvel temperament family. See Semaphoresmic clan #Negri for technical data. For discussion on the various 11-limit extensions, see Negri extensions.

Scales
Negri forms 9-note and 10-note mos scales, Negri[9] and Negri[10], at 1L 8s and 9L 1s respectively. In 19edo, the negri generator is the diatonic half-step of 2\19, which allows these mosses to be written fairly simply in conventional notation. For example, the ssssLssss mode of 19edo could be written as E F Gb G# A B C Db D# E. This mode is particularly useful as it has identical ssss pentachords (analogous to the tetrachords of classical Greek music theory) on the 1/1 and 3/2. It is also notable in that a subset of these notes form the E double harmonic major scale, E F G# A B C D# E, which features in a wide variety of world musical traditions. In fact, all modes of Negri[9] and Negri[10] contain at least one mode of the double harmonic scale as a subset.
Another useful mode of Negri[9] is Lssssssss, which in 19edo would be A B C Db D# E F Gb G# A. This has a minor triad (A–C–E) for a tonic chord, which can be extended to a 7-limit utonal tetrad (A–C–E–Gb), as well as 7-limit otonal tetrads on E and F that can function as, respectively, a dominant seventh chord and a German augmented sixth chord. This scale also contains the popular Hungarian minor mode of the double harmonic scale, A B C D# E F G# A.
4 of the 9 modes of Negri[9] are like the Locrian mode of the diatonic major scale in that they do not have a note a perfect 5th above the tonic. These are more difficult to apply conventional music theory to. However even in these modes there are a number of chords built on the tonic that can provide a measure of consonance and stability, such as 13:16:20:24 and 6:7:8.
Negri[10] also has a number of useful features. One of these features is the fact that it makes 4:5:6 and 10:12:15 share the same "shape" of generic intervals in the scale (as in other rank-2 decatonic scales such as pajara and blackwood scales; this is because 5/4 and 6/5 get tempered to the same interval in 10edo).
History and terminology
Negri was named by Paul Erlich in 2001[1] after John Negri's 10-out-of-19 maximally even scale[2]. It used to be known by distinct names in the 5- and 7-limit as negripent and negrisept, respectively (for more information on this, see Temperament names#Diminished and dimipent). It was also earlier known as "quadrafourths" and "tertiathirds".[3][4][5]
