TAMNAMS suggests the name '''diatonic''' for this scale, which commonly refers to a scale with 5 whole steps and 2 small steps.

===On the term ''diatonic''===
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.

=== Subset and superset MOS 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.

=== Parent and daughter MOS scales ===
5L 2s has a parent scale of 2L 3s, meaning 5L 2s contains 2L 3s as a subset. 5L 2s also has two daughter 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 an equalized form of both 7L 5s and 5L 7s, corresponding to 12edo.
