	* Similarly, "chromatic scale" does not refer explicitly to the chromatic scale, but to the 12 interval classes it defines, such that a diminished fourth, a double-augmented second, and a major third are all in the same chromatic interval class (4\12). So it does not matter if [[m-chromatic]] or [[p-chromatic]] is used; both of them work the same in this context.		* Similarly, "chromatic scale" does not refer explicitly to the chromatic scale, but to the 12 interval classes it defines, such that a diminished fourth, a double-augmented second, and a major third are all in the same chromatic interval class (4\12).

	Here ~~are~~ the types of steps:		Here is a list of the types of steps, and their correspondence to the diatonic and chromatic scale:

	* diatonic "[[Semitone (interval region)\|semitones]]" (alterations by 1 diatonic step and 1 chromatic step, i.e. E to F)		* diatonic "[[Semitone (interval region)\|semitones]]" (alterations by 1 diatonic step and 1 chromatic step, i.e. E to F)

This page goes over four different types of steps, defined in terms of the 7-note diatonic and 12-note chromatic scale. However, there are some important considerations:

* Here, "diatonic scale" refers not explicitly to the diatonic scale but to the 7 interval classes it defines, such that a diminished third, minor third, major third, and augmented third are all in the same diatonic interval class ("third", or 2\7).
* Similarly, "chromatic scale" does not refer explicitly to the chromatic scale, but to the 12 interval classes it defines, such that a diminished fourth, a double-augmented second, and a major third are all in the same chromatic interval class (4\12). So it does not matter if [[m-chromatic]] or [[p-chromatic]] is used; both of them work the same in this context.

Here are the types of steps:

* '''diatonic''' "[[Semitone (interval region)|semitones]]" (alterations by 1 diatonic step and 1 chromatic step, i.e. E to F)
* '''chromatic''' "semitones" (alterations by 0 diatonic steps and 1 chromatic step, i.e. E to E#)
* '''enharmonic''' "dieses" (alterations by 1 diatonic step and 0 chromatic steps, i.e. E to Fb)
* '''subchromatic''' "commas" (alterations by 0 diatonic steps and 0 chromatic steps, i.e. E to ^E)

A more in-depth explanation follows.
