-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.
