[[TAMNAMS]] suggests the temperament-agnostic name '''antidiatonic''' for this scale, adopted from the common use of the term to refer to diatonic ([[5L 2s]]) but with the large and small steps switched.

The scale is also often called peletonic or '''peltonic''', based on its prefix.

The most common way of notating this scale, particularly when working with mavila, is to use the same note names and accidentals as that of diatonic (CDEFGAB, #, and b), but read as antidiatonic instead. There are, however, two ways of notating accidentals:
The most common way of notating this scale, particularly when working with mavila, is to use the same note names and accidentals as that of diatonic (CDEFGAB, #, and b), but read as antidiatonic instead.  
* Harmonic antidiatonic notation, where the sharps and flats of diatonic switch roles: sharps flatten and flats sharpen.
 
* Melodic antidiatonic notation, where the meaning of sharps and flats is preserved: sharps sharpen and flats flatten.

Under harmonic antidiatonic notation, the basic gamut (for D anti-dorian) is the following: {{MOS gamut|Notation=DEFGABC; b; #|Step Ratio=2/1}}.
