This page is part of a worldbuilding project. It describes musical tuning concepts from a fictional alternate world, rather than the real world.

It may contain references to people, cultures, or places that do not actually exist, or events that did not actually happen.

This does not mean that it can’t be used to make real music—it still could be; it just means this article shouldn’t be used as a factual source about real history or traditions, or as a source of terminology and principle compatible with real established common practices and conventions.

In this alternate timeline, the French at the end of the 19th century make an extension of the diatonic scale with 10 notes to decimalize music. This starts a new decimal music movement where 8/3 is used as the equave with the 7L 3s<8/3> extended diatonic scale being used. The most popular tuning of the extended diatonic proves to be 27ed8/3 (extended 19edo). The 6|3 mode on G is notated as GHJKABCDEFG (could be called Mixolydian b10 or MMTM calls it "Mahur").
