=Theory= 

The 24-tone equal temperament is also known as **quarter-tone tuning**, since it evenly divides the 12-tone equal tempered semitone in two. Quarter-tones are the most commonly used microtonal tuning due to its retention of the familiar 12 tones and since it is the smallest microtonal equal temperament that contains all the 12 notes.

==Intervals== 

The twelve new intervals in quartertones are:

50 cents - subminor second
150 cents - neutral second
250 cents - supermajor second, subminor third
350 cents - neutral third
450 cents - minor fourth, supermajor third
550 cents - major fourth
650 cents - minor fifth
750 cents - major fifth, subminor sixth
850 cents - neutral sixth
950 cents - supermajor sixth, subminor seventh
1050 cents - neutral seventh
1150 cents - minor octave, supermajor seventh

==As a temperament== 

The [[Harmonic Limit|5-limit]] approximations in 24-tone equal temperament are the same as those in 12-tone equal temperament, therefore 24-tone equal temperament offers nothing new as far as approximating the 5-limit is concerned. The 7th harmonic-based intervals (7:4, 7:5 and 7:6) are just as bad in 24-tET as in 12-tET, although they are approximated by different intervals. To achieve a satisfactory level of approximation while maintaining the 12 notes of 12-tET requires high-degree tunings like 72-tET, 84-tET or 156-tET.

The 11th harmonic, and intervals derived from it, (11:10, 11:9, 11:8, 11:6, 12:11, 15:11, 16:11, 18:11, 20:11) are very well approximated in 24-tone equal temperament. The major fourth in 24-tET is 1.3 cents flatter than 11:8 and is almost indistinguishable from it. In addition, the interval approximating 11:9 is 7 steps which is exactly half a perfect fifth. Some good chords in 24-tET are (the numbers are degree numbers, e.g. 4 is a major second, 8 is a major third):

0-4-8-11-14 ("major" chord with a 9:8 and a 11:8 above the root)
Its inversion, 0-3-6-10-14 ("minor")
0-7-14 ("neutral")
0-5-10 (another kind of "neutral", splitting the fourth in two. The 0-5-10 can be extended into a pentatonic scale, 0-5-10-14-19-24, that is close to equi-pentatonic and also close to several Indonesian šlêndros. In a similar way 0-7-14 extends to 0-4-7-11-14-18-21-24, a heptatonic scale close to several Arabic scales.)

=Notation=

[[image:http://www.wfg.woodwind.org/n/f34_blue.gif]] = three-quarter-tone flat

Alternately, in another notation system,
[[image:http://faculty.mansfield.edu/jmurphy/oldsite/quartertonesharp.gif]] can be used as a quarter-tone sharp,
††† (the horizontal line should connect all three vertical lines) can be used as a three-quartertone sharp,
[[image:http://www.dolmetsch.com/onequarterflat.gif]] = quartertone flat,
[[image:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Arabic_music_notation_half_flat.svg/9px-Arabic_music_notation_half_flat.svg.png]] can be used as a three-quarter-tone flat.
For example, the scale 0-5-10-15-20 is written as C-D[[image:http://faculty.mansfield.edu/jmurphy/oldsite/quartertonesharp.gif]] (or E[[image:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Arabic_music_notation_half_flat.svg/9px-Arabic_music_notation_half_flat.svg.png]]) F G[[image:http://faculty.mansfield.edu/jmurphy/oldsite/quartertonesharp.gif]] (or A[[image:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Arabic_music_notation_half_flat.svg/9px-Arabic_music_notation_half_flat.svg.png]]) Bb.

The ever-arising question in microtonal music, how to play it on instruments designed for 12edo, has a relatively simple answer in the case of 24edo: use two standard instruments tuned a quartertone apart. This [[Microtonal Keyboards#twelvenoteoctavescales|"12 note octave scales"]] approach is used in a wide part of the existing literature - see below.

The ever-arising question in microtonal music, how to play it on instruments designed for 12edo, has a relatively simple answer in the case of 24edo: use two standard instruments tuned a quartertone apart. This <a class="wiki_link" href="/Microtonal%20Keyboards#twelvenoteoctavescales">&quot;12 note octave scales&quot;</a> approach is used in a wide part of the existing literature - see below.<br />
