The familiar pattern of 5 whole steps and 2 half steps, commonly written as WWHWWWH for the major scale, takes on a generalized form of LLsLLLs, where the large and small steps—denoted as ''L''{{'}}s and ''s''{{-'}}s—represent whole number step sizes, thus producing different [[edo]]s. These [[step ratio]]s affect the sizes of the diatonic scale's intervals and correspond to different tuning systems.

These [[step ratio]]s affect the sizes of the diatonic scale's intervals and correspond to different tuning systems.


Among the most well-known forms of this scale are the Pythagorean diatonic scale, and scales produced by meantone systems (including [[12edo]]).
