'''Nicetone''' (also known as the '''Zarlino pattern''' or '''Ptolemaic diatonic''') is a 7-note [[Maximum variety|maximum-variety-3]] scale with the [[step signature]] 3L 2M 2s. Nicetone is a [[chiral]] scale with left-handed (LH, step pattern LMLsMLs) and right-handed (RH, step pattern LMLsLMs) variants that are rotationally non-equivalent. [[15edo]] is the first equal division that supports nicetone.

'''Nicetone''' (also known as the '''Zarlino pattern''', simply '''Zarlino''', or '''Ptolemaic diatonic''') is a 7-note [[Maximum variety|maximum-variety-3]] scale with the [[step signature]] {{nowrap|3L 2M 2s}}. Nicetone is a [[chiral]] scale with left-handed (LH, step pattern LMLsMLs) and right-handed (RH, step pattern LMLsLMs) variants that are rotationally non-equivalent. [[15edo]] is the first equal division that supports nicetone. This pattern is a variety of diatonic, distinct from the [[mos]] pattern [[5L 2s]] officially called diatonic and found as such in fifth-generated tunings.

Nicetone has the same pattern of the [[5-limit]] [[~~Zarlino~~]] ~~scale~~, though it encompasses the whole range of 3L 2M 2s. It's also a subset of the 5L 2m 3s [[blackdye]] scale.

Nicetone has the same pattern of the [[#5-limit Zarlino scale|5-limit Zarlino]] scale, where L represents [[9/8]], M represents [[10/9]], and s represents [[16/15]], though it encompasses the whole range of {{nowrap|3L 2M 2s}}. It's also a subset of the {{nowrap|5L 2m 3s}} [[blackdye]] scale. Note that "Zarlino" by itself can refer to both the JI scale and the scale pattern.

Nicetone is intermediate between the [[5L 2s]] diatonic scale and the [[3L 4s]] neutral scale.

Nicetone is intermediate between the [[5L 2s]] diatonic scale and the [[3L 4s]] neutral scale.

~~Nicetone can be tuned as a [[5-limit]] JI scale or a tempered version thereof, where L represents [[9/8]], M represents [[10/9]], and s represents [[16/15]].~~

== 5-limit Zarlino scale ==

'''[[Ptolemy's intense diatonic]]''', '''5-limit Zarlino''' or sometimes '''Zarlino''' for short is a [[heptatonic]] [[5-limit]] [[JI]] [[scale]] with the [[nicetone]] step pattern. It consists of the intervals [[1/1]]–9/8–[[5/4]]–[[4/3]]–[[3/2]]–[[5/3]]–[[15/8]]–[[2/1]]. It corresponds to the case where L represents [[9/8]], M represents [[10/9]], and s represents [[16/15]]. See the [[Ptolemy's intense diatonic|dedicated page]] for Scala files and Fokker blocks information.

== Intervals ==

The following is a table of nicetone intervals and their abstract sizes in terms of L, M and s. Given concrete sizes of L, M and s in EDO steps or cents, you can compute the concrete size of any interval in nicetone using the following expressions.
