A musical '''tuning system''' or '''interval system''' (commonly referred to as a '''tuning''' or '''system''') is a set of rules or algorithms – including enumeration – that gives all the notes or [[interval]]s theoretically available to a composer. The qualification ''theoretically'' is important, as such systems are typically defined (or definable) in the abstract, not taking into account the practical constraints of human hearing or the ability to actually produce all the pitches of the system, though it could involve the decision of what fundamental frequencies the notes of instruments will be "tuned to." | A musical '''tuning system''' or '''interval system''' (commonly referred to as a '''tuning''' or '''system''') is a set of rules or algorithms – including enumeration – that gives all the notes or [[interval]]s theoretically available to a composer.
