Julián Carrillo(英語:Julián Carrillo)設計了一種準確、靈活的新方法。C音以0表示,在一個八度音階裡,以連續的數目來表示音。例如半音音階可以0~11來表示,四分之一音的音階可以0~23表示。Joseph Yasser在他的著作《發展調性的理論》(A Theory of Evolving Tonality)中,反對以機械化的方式分割音,提倡在音樂演進的過程中擴展音階。他認為音樂的發展是從五聲音階到七聲音階,再從七聲音階到十二聲音階。根據這個發展過程,下一階段應該是十九聲音階,其中原先的十二音是正音,新的七個音是副音(相當於七音階的半音)。
Harry Partch則在《音樂的起源》(Genesis of a Music)詳細研究調律系統和音階,並以此提出43音階。
除此之外,還有演奏方面的問題。雖然聲樂、弦樂可以奏出微分音,但不易正確奏出。或者需要兩架鋼琴,調音相差四分之一音,再各自演奏分配開來的譜。還有專為微分音設計的特殊樂器,如Ervin M. Wilson的31音鍵盤。微分音的演奏工具,主要還是電子樂器。
