User:Eliora/Bessel-3 f approach to 159edo

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.

159edo is the predominating tuning on the planet Bessel-3 f. This is also used because the planet has 159 solar days per solar year.

Typically though, distinct ethnomusical traditions and likewise traditions do not use the entire gamut, they merely use 159edo to notate pitches.
