Original Wikitext content:
Indian music is one of the important microtonal music traditions (along with the [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|arabic/turkish/persian]] tradtition). The basic element is the shruti (sometimes spelled šruti, sruti or shruthi), which roughly corresponds to a quartertone. There are 22 shrutis per octave; it can be (and has been) be 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 Some derivations in the light of modern temperament theory: [[Magic22 as srutis|Magic22 and Shrutar22 as srutis]]
