The term '''diatonic''' has several meanings.

In regards to scales, see:

'''In regards to scales, see:'''

* [[5L 2s]], the diatonic [[moment of symmetry]] scale

* [[Ptolemy's intense diatonic]] scale

* [[5L 2s Muddles]], which may also be reasonably called "diatonic scales"

* The diatonic genus, a {{w|genus (music)|genus}} in ancient Greek music theory

Note: In [[TAMNAMS]] (which is the convention on ~~all~~ pages ~~on temperament-agnostic scale patterns~~ on the wiki), [[diatonic]] exclusively refers to 5L 2s. Other diatonic-based scales (specifically with 3 step sizes or more), such as [[Zarlino]], [[blackdye]] and [[diasem]], are called ''[[Detempering|detempered]]'' (if the philosophy is [[RTT]]-based) or ''deregularized'' (RTT-agnostic) ''diatonic scales''. The adjectives ''diatonic-like'' or ''diatonic-based'' may also be used to refer to diatonic-based scales, depending on what's contextually the most appropriate.

Note: In [[TAMNAMS]] (which is the convention on [[:Category:Abstract MOS patterns|abstract MOS pattern]] pages on the wiki), [[diatonic]] exclusively refers to 5L 2s.

In regards to interval classification, see:

'''In regards to interval classification, see:'''

* [[~~Diatonic, Chromatic, Enharmonic, Subchromatic~~]]

* [[Major second (diatonic interval category)|Whole tone]] and [[diatonic semitone]]

* [[Diatonic ~~semitone~~]]

* [[Diatonic, chromatic, enharmonic, and subchromatic steps]]
