“…There are recent examples of invention of microtonal tunings in Western music [36,64,151], and many theory scales bear the hallmarks of design: Greek modes are all circular permutants, based on simple integer ratios [152]; the Carnatic melakarta result from combinatorial enumeration of a set of intervals, constrained by a set of rules [153]. Similarly, other cultures that have a long history of mathematical scholarship [154] use overlapping sets of scales based on theoretical divisions of the octave [95,[155][156][157][158][159]. Typically, though, the theory scales that still survive are similar to the meaured scales, so it is likely that designed scales are constrained by similar selection criteria that applies to non-designed scales.…”

“…The current system of Carnatic melakarta is a result of combinatorial enumeration of a set of intervals, constrained by a set of rules [100]. Similarly, other cultures that have a long history of mathematical scholarship [120] all use overlapping sets of scales based on theoretical divisions of the octave [121][122][123][124][125][126].…”

“…87 Über den Autor ist sehr wenig bekannt, außer dass er Musiklehrer und Komponist war. Wenige Monate vor dem Kairoer Musikkongresses von 1932 veröffentlichte er in der Zeitung al-Ahrām einen Artikel mit dem von Yunan Labib Rizk ins Englische übersetzten Titel »Plaintive Strains in Arab and Western Music« Katz 2015,. 114, 118, 265 und 315.…”
