For microtonal music with not more than 12 tones per octave, this is not such a problem - fingerings for non-standard scales can be learned. But it becomes a problem if you need more than 12 tones per octave, or even want a non-octave tuning, such as Wendy Carlos or [[BP|Bohlen-Pierce]]. | For microtonal music with not more than 12 tones per octave, this is not such a problem - fingerings for non-standard scales can be learned.
