5sL and 5sR are [[chiral]] pairs, and 5sC is achiral. The three chiralities are also determined by the number of ms and sm substrings they have.

''Diachrome'' is named from ''diatonic'' and ''chromatic'' for the [[5L 7s|5L7s]] and [[7L 5s|7L5s]] children of [[5L2s]] that the L=m and m=s tunings reflect.

5sC has two chains of "fifths" (the 7-step 3L + m + 3s) both having 6 notes and offset by 3L + m + 2s. The interval L + s is thus reached by stacking two fifths and reducing, and m is reached by stacking -5 fifths and reducing.

The interval L + s is thus reached by stacking two fifths and reducing, and m is reached by stacking -5 fifths and reducing. The three leftmost notes of the lower chain (the one not offset by 3L + m + 2s) are joined to the three rightmost notes of the upper chain by 2L + m. 5sL (resp. 5sR) similarly has two chains of fifths, but the lower chain has 7 (resp. 5) notes and the upper chain 5 (resp. 7) notes.

In terms of [[MOS substitution]], 5sL = subst('''XXXXXXmXXXXm''', '''X''', '''Ls'''), 5sL = subst('''XXXXXXmXXXXm''', '''X''', '''sL'''), and 5sC = subst('''XXXXXmXXXXXm''', '''X''', '''Ls''').

Diachrome is available in good RTT edos that have quasi-just or Parapyth fifths.
