Nejis are distinct from [[detempering]]. Unlike detempering, a neji need not imply a [[mapping]]. Meanwhile, detempering in general does not require the rational pitch replacements to all be part of the same harmonic series. Nejis are compatible with [[regular temperament theory]] if they are treated as working in the concrete tuning layer of temperaments. | Nejis are distinct from [[detempering]].

It's possible to create a working neji by simply approximating an edo as closely as possible with selected harmonics. However, it is sometimes preferable to build particular aesthetic choices into a neji. One such common choice is to focus on a few intervals in the edo being "nejified" which are of particular interest. The root harmonic is then selected to approximate these intervals of interest as well as possible; the remaining harmonics to fill in the rest of the edo are chosen based on their ability to fit well with the existing notes. | |||
