'''[[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. | |||
