Among the most well-known forms of this scale are the diatonic scale of [[12edo]], the Pythagorean diatonic scale, and scales produced by meantone systems.

TAMNAMS suggests the name '''diatonic''' for this scale, which commonly refers to a scale with 5 whole steps and 2 small steps. Under TAMNAMS and for all scale pattern pages on the wiki, '''the term ''diatonic'' exclusively refers to 5L 2s'''.
[[TAMNAMS]] suggests the temperament-agnostic name '''diatonic''' for this scale, which commonly refers to a scale with 5 whole steps and 2 small steps. Under TAMNAMS and for all scale pattern pages on the wiki, '''the term ''diatonic'' exclusively refers to 5L 2s'''.


The term ''diatonic'' may also refer to scales produced using [[Tetrachord|tetrachords]], [[just intonation]], or in general have more than one size of whole tone. Such scales, such as [[Zarlino]], [[blackdye]] and [[diasem]], are specifically called ''[[Detempering|detempered]] diatonic scales'' (for an RTT-based philosophy) or ''deregularized diatonic scales'' (for an RTT-agnostic philosophy). The terms ''diatonic-like'' or ''diatonic-based'' may also be used to refer such scales, depending on what's contextually the most appropriate.

==Notation==
==Intervals==
:''This article assumes [[TAMNAMS]] for naming step ratios, mossteps, and mosdegrees.''
Names for this scale's intervals (mossteps) and scale degrees (mosdegrees) are based on the number of large and small steps from the root, starting at 0 (the 0-mosstep and 0-mosdegree) for the unison.


===Intervals===
Except for the unison and octave, all [[Interval class|interval classes]] have two [[Interval variety|varieties]] or sizes, denoted using the terms ''major'' and ''minor'' for the large and small sizes, respectively. The exception to this rule are the generators, which use the terms ''augmented'', ''perfect'', and ''diminished'' instead.
Intervals are identical to that of standard notation. As such, the usual interval qualities of major/minor and augmented/perfect/diminished apply here.

A 7-note scale using these intervals will typically use scale degrees that represents one size from each interval class, with the true MOS upholding the step pattern of LLLsLLs, or some rotation thereof. MODMOS scales may be formed this way without upholding the step pattern, thereby creating a non-MOS pattern such as LLLLsLs, or may include alterations that exceed the two varieties typical of a MOS scale.

===Subset and superset scales===
5L 2s has a parent scale of 2L 3s, meaning 5L 2s contains 2L 3s as a subset. 5L 2s also has two child scales that both contain 5L 2s as a subset: either 7L 5s (if the step ratio is less than 2:1) or 5L 7s (if the step ratio is greater than 2:1). A step ratio exactly 2:1 will produce 12edo, an equalized form of 5L 7s and 7L 5s.
5L 2s has a parent scale of [[2L 3s]], a pentatonic scale, meaning 2L 3s is a subset. 5L 2s also has the two child scales, which are supersets of 5L 2s:
 
*[[7L 5s]], a chromatic scale produced using soft-of-basic step ratios.
*[[5L 7s]], a chromatic scale produced using hard-of-basic step ratios.
 
12edo contains 5L 2s as the equalized form of both 5L 7s and 7L 5s.
