This distinction is more process-based than formalized, in that the pool of intervals is chosen to be a specific harmonic series segment, before notes are selected from it. This is because any JI scale occurs as some (possibly very high) harmonic series segment. | This distinction is more process-based than formalized, in that the pool of intervals is chosen to be a specific harmonic series segment, before notes are selected from it.

==== Harmodal nejis ==== | |||
If the target scale has a [[period]] equal to some positive integer harmonic (like the [[octave]], [[tritave]] or [[pentave]]), a fitting name for this type of neji is a "harmodal neji", a contraction of "harmonic modal neji". By default, this refers to a period of an octave, as that's the most common usecase. | |||
