temperament

[English]

The division of an octave into twelve equal parts. Tuning according to equal temperament is the modern way of tuning instruments. In this system, each semitone is slightly off its true pitch, so that no one note is drastically off pitch; the pitch difference is spread evenly throughout the notes.
