Notation: "diatonic" is more specific than "seven note names". Improve wording and formatting (there's no reason to typeset them in a code block)

In musical notations that employ the [[chain-of-fifths notation|chain-of-fifths]] along with seven note names, such as the [[ups and downs notation]], the whole tone is represented by the distances between A and B, C and D, D and E, F and G, as well as between G and A.

The scale is structured with the following step pattern:
The scale is structured with the following step pattern:
    A to B: [[9/8|whole tone]]
* A to B: [[9/8|whole tone]]
    B to C: [[256/243|limma]]
* B to C: [[256/243|limma]]
    C to D: [[9/8|whole tone]]
* C to D: [[9/8|whole tone]]
    D to E: [[9/8|whole tone]]
* D to E: [[9/8|whole tone]]
    E to F: [[256/243|limma]]
* E to F: [[256/243|limma]]
    F to G: [[9/8|whole tone]]
* F to G: [[9/8|whole tone]]
    G to A: [[9/8|whole tone]]
* G to A: [[9/8|whole tone]]
This pattern highlights the placement of the whole tone intervals between A and B, C and D, D and E, F and G, and G and A, distinguishing them from the [[256/243|limma]] that occur between the other note pairs.
