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 limma is represented by the distances between B and C, as well as between E and F.
In musical notations that employ the [[5L 2s|diatonic]] [[chain-of-fifths notation|chain-of-fifths]], such as the [[ups and downs notation]], the limma is represented by the distances between B and C, as well as between E and F.


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 limma intervals between B and C, and E and F, distinguishing them from the [[9/8|whole tone]] that occur between the other note pairs.
