This attracted many Christian musicians and composers (Scott Mount was one of them). Mount wrote a Mass in 10edo, which was half-dicot-based and half-neopentatonicist, with a few small sections in the New Pythagorean style.

Many African traditions (not sure which ones) developed equipentatonic systems. We take the fact that the French liked 10edo (what they call ‘metric tuning’) so much so that they even promoted it inside their colonies. This initially had more success than expected, due to a common arrangement by [TBD balafon player] who proposed the idea of two parallel balafons covering the entire 10edo gamut. This somehow eventually spread to America during the African slave trade and developed a new type of music (still called jazz), but Earth#10 jazz is more adventurous in the fact that they would regard each note of 10edo as equally important and thus they would regard the chromatic gamut as the scale itself. Equally interesting was the use of the [0 3 6 8] chord in 10edo as the main ‘primary’ chord in Earth#10 jazz music (insert colian 10edo theory here)
