== Diatonic ==

Unfortunately the [[Leapday]] diatonic scale is not meantone, and makes basic 5-limit minor and major interval quite complex and often awkward to play. (For example, reaching 5/4 using only sharps and flats would require a triply-augmented unison, such as C–C𝄪♯ or C to C triple sharp). The [[Rodan]] mapping has a slightly wider range and is probably more intuitive, but has the disadvantage of skipping a chroma on some of the transitions between columns, making it impossible to play the full gamut of each octave, and each octave is substantially higher up on the keyboard.

== Sensi ==

The [[Lumatone mapping for sensi]] is another option that makes 5-limit chords fairly easy to play, although it has a slightly smaller range.

== Amity ==

The [[Amity]] ~~mapping~~ is a good compromise between these, since it provides an even heptatonic scale, making the full gamut playable, puts 5-limit minor and major chords within easy reach, and has the chroma going in the correct direction.

The [[Lumatone mapping for Amity]] is a good compromise between these, since it provides an even heptatonic scale, making the full gamut playable, puts 5-limit minor and major chords within easy reach, and has the chroma going in the correct direction.

== Echidnic ==

The [[Echidnic]] mapping does even better, giving the greatest overall efficiency at reaching harmonics while also keeping octaves close to horizontal.

The [[Echidnic]] mapping does even better than Amity, giving the greatest overall efficiency at reaching harmonics while also keeping octaves close to horizontal.
