In terms of harmonic entropy, the most significant minimum is at [[Meantone family #Liese|Liese]]/Triton, in which the generator is about 7/5 and three of them make a 3/1.

The antidiatonic scale is similar to the normal diatonic scale except interval classes are flipped. For example, there are natural, harmonic, and melodic major scales instead of minor scales, and the antilocrian scale has an augmented fifth instead of a diminished fifth. The flatter the "fifth" gets, the less the scale resembles the diatonic scale, with mavila scales generated by ~~slightly-~~flat fifths appearing like a flipped diatonic, but casablanca and triton scales generated by subfifths or even tritones much less so.

It is often called '''antidiatonic''', because it has the step pattern of diatonic ([[5L 2s]]), but with the large and small steps switched. [[TAMNAMS]] uses this name as well.
