How then can one claim the grid is exclusively 12ET in pop? I don't hear it that way and neither do many of the players I come in contact with. I believe the globalization of tunings deemphasizes any single system, no matter how imperious. If a microtone is smaller than a semitone exclusively, then the other larger microtones (e.g. 7/4) would seem to be of a different pedigree. Would they be mere extrapolations of "smaller-than-semitone" deviations of 12ET? Only by considering all pitch concocted intervallic relationships as on the same page can one apprehend evenhandedly. Truly I play just 5/4 thirds in tunes of Pink Floyd's _the final cut_ in semi-frequent bassoon jams. Mayhaps microtonal intervals are a more important barometer of pop microtonal useage than the wholesale adoption of a radically distinct tuning system. There has never been much in the way of fully harmony in pop and that is part of its charm. But their are a myriad of intended microtonal intervals out there.
