Mus .)
A system of compromises in the tuning of organs ,

until their number reduced to the actual practicable scale of twelve tones to the octave .
This scale ,
although in so far artificial ,
is yet closely suggestive of its origin in nature ,
and this system of tuning ,
although not mathematically true ,
yet satisfies the ear ,
while it has the convenience that the same twelve fixed tones answer for every key or scale ,

bilious or choleric temperament ,
sanguine temperament ,
etc .,
implying a predominance of one of these fluids and a corresponding influence on the temperament .

{
Equal temperament } (
Mus .),
