===Other tuning scales=== Other tuning scales use slightly different interval ratios: * The [[Just intonation|just]] or [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]] perfect fifth is 3/2, and the difference between the equal tempered perfect fifth and the just is a [[grad (musical interval)|grad]], the twelfth root of the [[Pythagorean comma]] (<math display=inline>\sqrt[12]{531441/524288}</math>). * The equal tempered [[Bohlen–Pierce scale]] uses the interval of the thirteenth root of three (<math display=inline>\sqrt[13]{3}</math>). * Stockhausen's ''[[Studie II]]'' (1954) makes use of the twenty-fifth root of five (<math display=inline>\sqrt[25]{5}</math>), a compound major third divided into 5×5 parts. * The [[delta scale]] is based on ≈<math display=inline>\sqrt[50]{3/2}</math>. * The [[gamma scale]] is based on ≈<math display=inline>\sqrt[20]{3/2}</math>. * The [[beta scale]] is based on ≈<math display=inline>\sqrt[11]{3/2}</math>. * The [[alpha scale]] is based on ≈<math display=inline>\sqrt[9]{3/2}</math>.
