Created page with "{{Editable user page}} This is a light-hearted page inspired by Adam Neely's "7 levels of jazz harmony. It lists tunings based on "how xenharmonic" they are. This list does not list any non-Western tunings because framing those as "xen" as opposed to the Western "normal" is inaccurate.

Tunings with no octaves and no tritaves (twelfths) either. Any last remnant of 12edo music theory ceases to make sense at this level. But there are still consonances to be found (as in, intervals close to simple [[JI]] ratios). | Tunings with no octaves and no tritaves (twelfths) either.
