Original Wikitext content:
Indian music is one of the important microtonal music traditions (along with the [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|arabic/turkish/persian]] tradtition). Its measuring unit is the **shruti** (sometimes spelled šruti, sruti or shruthi), which roughly corresponds to a quartertone. There are 22 shrutis per octave, 13 per fifth and 9 per fourth. A size of 4 sruti for the major whole tone follows from that. The step sizes of the heptatonic scales ([[shadja grama]], [[madhyama grama]]) are given as sequences of 4, 3, and 2 sruti It can be (and has been) approximated with [[22edo]] - the "traditional" tuning system, however, is unequal. An explanation about the shruti system and a traditional derivation of the 22 shrutis: http://www.carnaticcorner.com/articles/22_srutis.htm It should be noted that there is no "official", non-ambiguous definition of the exact sizes of all the shruti intervals. One example for a compilation of the shrutis, with explicit values of the intervals, can be found [[A shruti list|here]]. Some derivations in the light of modern temperament theory: [[Magic22 as srutis|Magic22 and Shrutar22 as srutis]] ==Other links== [[http://tonalsoft.com/monzo/indian/indian.htm|Article on indian tuning in Joe Monzo's tuning encyclopedia]]
