There have been various endeavors, also in recent history, to establish a common tuning standard. A few of these are described in a [[http://www.ozanyarman.com/files/34%27ten_79%27a.pdf|paper by Ozan Yarman]]. However, none of these have been really successful (at least not as successful as 12edo in Western music). Given the subtleties sketched in the above mentioned podacst, this task is certainly nontrivial, if not finally impossible.

Depending on the accurateness that is wanted, we can distinguish different levels.

A lot of research in this field has been done by [[Julien Jalaleddine Weiss]]. See [[tuning systems for qanun|tuning systems for the qanun]] , or [[http://stefanpohlit.com/dissertation.engl..htm|Stefan Pohlit's dissertation]].
If high pitch accuracy and possibilities to modulate are emphasized and the number of pitches matters less, we get systems as developed by [[Julien Jalaleddine Weiss]], going beyond 100 different pitches per octave.

[[Tsaharuk]] is a 77 notes per octave linear or planar temperament proposed by [[Jacques Dudon]] based on Julien Jalaleddine Weiss qanun tunings.
