Equal-step tuning: Difference between revisions
"In terms of what musical resource is divided, it divides pitch, so another term for equal-step tuning is '''equal pitch division (EPD)'''. Since pitch is the most commonly divided resource, this can be shortened to just '''equal division (ED)'''." |

''As there are infinitely many intervals, there are infinitely many equal scales.'' Barring technicalities, there are large quantities of perceivably different equal scales. Seeing such a diverse menagerie at their disposal, some composers choose to combine multiple equal tunings [[ET survey|sequentially]] or [[Polymicrotonality|simultaneously]]. | ''As there are infinitely many intervals, there are infinitely many equal scales.''
