I note that under [[:Category:Traditions]] all the cultural traditions (not just Indian) are named with strange and somewhat dismaying names that omit the word "music" that should follow. E.g. Indian, Arabic and Greek should sensibly be Indian music, Arabic music, and Greek music. The words "Indian," "Arabic," and "Greek" by themselves can mean a people, a culture, or (except for Indian) a language. I believe that these page names and category names should specify "music" or "microtonality" or something else specific. Wikipedia (which this is not) follows [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:NOUN&redirect=no WP:Noun].

***Historically, pure tunings were understood to mostly support only limited dyadic harmony, because few intervals in any purely JI tuning were considered acceptably consonant. Interval table analysis of an example JI tuning reveals how many of that tunings' dyadic intervals are unusable for harmony. Consonant triads are very rare in JI tunings.

***However, many traditional cultural musics successfully integrated dyadic harmony, e.g. ancient Greek music and its early European descendants, traditional classical Chinese music, and some traditional African music.

***Melodic arpeggiation and the introduction of ostinato in accompaniment provided an opening to harmonic ideas without the more glaring dissonance of simultaneous tones.

***The development of [[wikipedia:Meantone_temperament|meantone temperaments]] in European music expanded the number of acceptably consonant intervals ([[wikipedia:List_of_meantone_intervals|List of meantone intervals]]), while listeners became more accepting of less pure intervals as consonant (most extremely in [[wikipedia:Emancipation_of_the_dissonance|Emancipation of the dissonance]]), allowing expansion and exploration of triadic and larger harmonies.
