One way of distinguishing the '''17/12 diatonic''' scale is by considering it a [[MOS scale|moment of symmetry]] scale produced by a chain of "fifths" (or "fourths") with the step combination of '''5L 2s'''. Among the most well-known variants of this MOS proper are [[17ed8/3]]<nowiki/>s diatonic scale along with both the Pythagorean diatonic scale and the various meantone systems. Other similar scales referred to by the term "diatonic" can be arrived at different ways – for example, through just intonation procedures, or with tetrachords. However, it should be noted that at least the majority of the other scales that fall under this category – such as the just intonation scales that use more than one size of whole tone – are actually JI detemperings or tempered approximations of them that both closely resemble and are derived from this MOS. | One way of distinguishing the '''17/12 diatonic''' scale is by considering it a [[MOS scale|moment of symmetry]] scale produced by a chain of "fifths" (or "fourths") with the step combination of '''5L 2s'''.
