In equal temperaments, as seen above, there is always a tradeoff between the diverging requirements of high pitch accuracy and not to high number of notes. A possible way out of this dilemma are unequal temperaments. They allow to play a number of different maqams with comparatively few notes, with, on the other hand, restrictions in the possibilities to modulate. | In equal temperaments, as seen above, there is always a tradeoff between the diverging requirements of high pitch accuracy and not to high number of notes.
