In tuning, the '''inverse-arithmetic mean''' or '''utonal mean''' generates new pitch materials by taking the mean in the inverse-arithmetic scale i.e. the scale of the length of a string to be divided. It can be said with respect to frequencies or frequency ratios on a certain common fundamental.  
In tuning, the '''inverse-arithmetic mean''', '''utonal mean''', or '''length mean''' generates new pitch materials by taking the mean in the inverse-arithmetic scale of pitch i.e. the scale proportional to the length of a string to be divided. It can be said with respect to frequencies or frequency ratios on a certain common fundamental.
