The '''decaononic''' technique is the way of playing and composing where a [[tone]] is considered to be equal to [[10/9]]. It is a set of temperaments that may interpret this function differently. | The '''decaononic'''{{idiosyncratic}} technique is the way of playing and composing where a [[tone]] is considered to be equal to [[10/9]].

In 5-limit just | In 5-limit just intonation and most of the music theory that comes with it, 10/9 is viewed as a secondary tone as opposed to [[9/8]]. In general, when the [[81/80|difference]] between the two is eliminated, what it really means is that the "tone" is set to equal to 9/8 and the tuning completely misses 10/9. This is primarily because 9/8 and an octave are equal to a stack of two perfect fifths. 10/9 therefore in this paradigm only occurs as a side product of 9/8, and it isn't an interval of its own. | ||
While there are temperaments which use 10/9 as a generator for various purposes (such as [[Porcupine]]), decaononic means that 10/9 is ''the tone,'' and 9/8 is not as emphasized. | While there are temperaments which use 10/9 as a generator for various purposes (such as [[Porcupine]]), decaononic means that 10/9 is ''the tone,'' and 9/8 is not as emphasized. |
