During the French Revolution, the music of earlier French composers was abandoned in favour of a purer, "more French", decimal music. The 10-note "French" system spread throughout the entirety of continental Europe within thirty years, with younger composers picking it up and older composers who were accustomed to the older 12edo-adjacent systems vehemently despising it.

The equivalent of the Second Viennese School in this universe, the New Pythagoreans, were a group of cultists from America and England who believed that the decimal sequences of irrational numbers held the key to greater understanding of the universe, because of 'music of the spheres' and whatnot. The first New Pythagorean composer was William Shanks who was in love with the sequence 4592307816, as it is the first pandigital sequence in pi, and used it as a tone row in his magnum opus, Symphony in Pi. To this day this sequence of intervals is known as the Shanks row or the Shanks motif.
