==Name==
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.
== Name==
[[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'''.


Under TAMNAMS and for all scale pattern pages on the wiki, '''the term ''diatonic'' exclusively refers to 5L 2s'''. Other diatonic-based scales, such as [[Zarlino]], [[blackdye]] and [[diasem]], are 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 to diatonic-based scales, depending on what's contextually the most appropriate.
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.


===Note names===
==Notation==
Note names are identical to that of standard notation. Thus, the basic gamut for 5L 2s is the following:

===Generalizing whole and half steps===
===Introduction to step sizes===
The familiar pattern of 5 whole steps and 2 half steps, commonly written as WWHWWWH for the major scale, has step sizes of 2 (whole step) and 1 (small step), producing [[12edo]]. This can be generalized to form the pattern LLsLLLs with whole-number step sizes for L and s, where L is greater than s. The terms "large step" and "small step" are preferred as most step size pairings cannot be interpreted as "whole" and "half" steps.

The familiar pattern of 5 whole steps and 2 half steps, commonly written as WWHWWWH for the major scale, has step sizes of 2 (whole step) and 1 (half step), producing [[12edo]]. This can be generalized into the form LLsLLLs, with whole-number sizes for the large steps and small steps, denoted as "L" and "s" respectively.


Different edos are produced by using different ratios of step sizes. A few examples are shown below.

Edos that are multiples of the examples above can be reached by entering non-simplified step ratios. For example, edos that are multiples of 12 are reached by using larger values whose ratio simplifies to 2:1, such as 4:2 for [[24edo]] and 12:6 for [[72edo]]. The step sizes may be called whole and half in this case.

A spectrum of step ratios can be produced by starting with the ratios 1:1 and 1:0 and repeatedly finding the [[Mediant|mediants]] between adjacent ratios. The first three iterations are shown below, yielding the step ratios previously mentioned.{{SB tree|Depth=1}}
All step ratios lie on a spectrum from 1:1 to 1:0, referred to on the wiki as a scale tree. The step ratios 1:1 and 1:0 represent the limits for valid step ratios. A step ratio that approaches 1:1, where the large and small step are equal to one another, approaches [[7edo]], and a step ratio that approaches 1:0, where the small step "collapses" to zero, approaches [[5edo]].
{{SB tree|Depth=2}}
{{SB tree|Depth=3}}
Larger edos, such as [[53edo]] (step ratio 9:4), can be reached by repeatedly expanding the tuning spectrum. A larger tuning spectrum can be found in this page's tuning spectrum section.


The step ratios 1:1 and 1:0 represent the extremes of the tuning spectrum. A step ratio that approaches 1:1, where the large and small step are equal to one another, approaches [[7edo]], and a step ratio that approaches 1:0, where the size of the small step approaches 0 relative to the size of the large step, approaches [[5edo]].
TAMNAMS has names for regions of this spectrum based on whether they are "soft" (between 1:1 and 2:1) or "hard" (between 2:1 and 1:0).

[[17edo]] and [[19edo]] are the smallest edos that offer a greater variety of pitches than 12edo. Note that any enharmonic equivalences that 12edo has no longer hold for either 17edo or 19edo, as shown in the table below.

Parasoft tunings (step ratios between 4:3 to 3:2) correspond to flattone temperaments, characterized by flattening the perfect 5th (3/2) so it makes the diatonic major 3rd flatter than 5/4 (386¢). Compatible edos include 26edo, 45edo, and 64edo.
Parasoft tunings (4:3 to 3:2) correspond to flattone temperaments, characterized by flattened perfect 5ths ([[3/2]], flat of 702¢) to produce major 3rds that are flatter than [[5/4]] (386¢).

==== Minihard ====
The range of hypohard tunings can be divided into a minihard range (2:1 to 5:2) and quasihard range (5:2 to 3:1).
Minihard tunings correspond to Pythagorean tuning and schismatic temperament, characterized by having a perfect 5th that is as close to just (701.96¢) as possible, resulting in 81/64 (407.8¢) for its major 3rd. Compatible edos include 41edo, and 53edo.

Quasihard tunings correspond to "neogothic" or "parapyth" systems whose perfect 5th is sharper than just, resulting in major 3rds that are sharper than 81/64. Compatible edos include 29edo and 46edo.


17edo is considered to be on the sharper end of the neogothic spectrum, with a major 3rd that is more discordant than flatter neogothic tunings.

===Subset and superset scales===
===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.
