[[Neji]]s are [[primodal]] scales that more or less roughly approximate the equal tuning with the corresponding number of tones per equave. These scales achieve consonance by ensuring that all intervals share a relatively small common denominator, instead of focusing on a few very simple intervals such as the perfect fifth ([[3/2]]) or the classical major third ([[5/4]]). | [[Neji]]s are [[primodal]] scales that more or less roughly approximate the equal tuning with the corresponding number of tones per equave.

== Relation to regular temperaments == | |||
Through the lens of regular temperament theory, a well temperament can be viewed as a result of applying an irregular [[tuning map]] to the abstract intervals of an [[equal temperament]] (i.e. a rank-1 abstract regular temperament), though tuning maps in the technical sense are defined to be regular. However, note that when nejis are considered well temperaments in this sense, the JI ratios the intervals are said to represent and the actual JI ratios of the neji tuning must be distinguished, and the JI ratios that occur in the neji should not be assumed to be consistent with the val. | |||
