Original Wikitext content:
**<span class="WikiPageMenuTitle WikiElement">Xenarmónico</span>** es un terma used to describe [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_tuning|tuning]] systems, or [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music|music]] using those systems, which does not conform to or closely approximate the common [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-tone_equal_temperament|12-tone equal temperament]]. The term was coined by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivor_Darreg|Ivor Darreg]], from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenia_%28Greek%29|xenia]] ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language|Greek]] **ξενία**), hospitable, and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenos_%28Greek%29|xenos]] ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language|Greek]] **ξένος**) foreign. He famously stated: "This writer has proposed the term xenharmonic for music, melodies, scales, harmonies, instruments, and tuning-systems which do not sound like the 12-tone-equal temperament."[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenharmonic_music#cite_note-0|[]][[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenharmonic_music#cite_note-0|1]][[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenharmonic_music#cite_note-0|]]] The term is meant to include tunings such as 5- and 7-tone equal temperament, which are perhaps excluded under "microtonal" rubric, since their intervals are larger than those of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_temperament|12-ET]]. The term "microtonal" may have also been seen as too restrictive in that it was strongly associated with the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartertone|quartertone]] movement, and with composers like [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Carrillo|Julian Carrillo]], who only worked in equal temperaments that were multiples of 12. Darreg was among the first to argue that any equal temperament could be a valid source of musical materials.
