**As there are infinite intervals, there are infinite equal scales.** Barring technicalities, there are large quantities of perceivably different equal scales. Seeing such a diverse menagerie at their disposal, some composers choose to combine multiple equal tunings [[ET surveys|sequentially]] or [[Polymicrotonality|simultaneously]]. | **As there are infinite intervals, there are infinite equal scales.** Barring technicalities, there are large quantities of perceivably different equal scales.

What do 12ed2, 19ed3, and 28ed5 all have in common? They're all approximately the same scale. This happens because 12ed2 is an accurate temperament (for its size) that contains relatively close approximations of 3/1 and 5/1. In contrast, 11ed2 does not correspond closely to any equal division of 3/1 or 5/1. | What do 12ed2, 19ed3, and 28ed5 all have in common? They're all approximately the same scale.
