5-et can be regarded as either a chord or a scale. Considered as a scale, the fact that it can be heard as a chord is very significant--it's impossible to sound very dissonant in 5-et. However, it has the scale-like feature that there are (barely) enough notes to create melody, in the form of an equal version of pentatonic. Moreover, any pentatonic melody may be imported into 5-et, though some degradation may occur. | 5-et can be regarded as either a chord or a scale.

Original Wikitext content:
=5 tone equal temperament= 5-et can be regarded as either a chord or a scale. Considered as a scale, the fact that it can be heard as a chord is very significant--it's impossible to sound very dissonant in 5-et. However, it has the scale-like feature that there are (barely) enough notes to create melody, in the form of an equal version of pentatonic. Moreover, any pentatonic melody may be imported into 5-et, though some degradation may occur. If 5-edo is regarded as a temperament, which is to say as 5-et, then the most salient fact is that 16/15 is tempered out. This means in 5-et the major third and the fourth, and the minor sixth and the fifth, are not distinguished. This is at the very edge what can sensibly be called temperament, but it does make sense and can be used. Also tempered out is 27/25, leading to beep temperament. This equates 10/9 with 6/5, and is a little more perverse even than father. Because these intervals are so large, this sort of analysis is less significant with 5 than it becomes with larger and more accurate divisions, but it still plays a role. **Compositions** [[http://home.comcast.net/%7Eteamouse/daybreak-vsc.mp3|Daybreak on Slendro Mountain]] by [[http://home.comcast.net/%7Eteamouse/|Herman Miller]]
