'''This would hopefully replace all three of Introduction, Introduction to Xenharmonics, and Composing Powerstart.'''

If you’ve recently heard about xenharmonic music (or “xen”, or “microtonal”, which means [[Microtonal music#Terminology|roughly]] the same thing) and want to learn more about it, this is the place to start. “Xenharmonic music” (or “xen music”) is music that sounds like it was tuned differently than most Western music. (Xenharmonic music is entirely separate from the 432Hz movement.)

Line 54:

You can play around with tunings in Scale Workshop before you use them. Larger tunings are more difficult to work with. You might have read that some tuning system is optimal in some way; such claims mean very little and usually come attached to tuning systems that are too unwieldy (>24 notes) to start with. If you want to work within these tuning systems anyway, you might want to work with a small subset of the notes available (which is what most xenharmonic composers do)

'''10edo''' <br />This is probably the easiest edo to start with. Smaller edos can feel limiting, and larger edos can feel overwhelming.
