{{Lumatone mapping intro}} The closest thing to a diatonic scale is using the neutral third to generate a [[3L 4s]] scale.

== Neutral thirds ==

=== 4L 3s ===

The closest thing to a diatonic scale is using the neutral third to generate a [[3L 4s]] scale.

=== 3L 1s ===

Since 10edo is a small edo, this can easily be compressed down to [[3L 1s]] or even [[1L 2s]] to extend your range without impacting playability.

=== 1L 2s ===

== Blackwood + Decimal/Lemba ==

Since [[10edo]] is a tuning of [[blackwood]], a blackwood mapping can work (although it is not the most efficient in terms of note usage), as demonstrated in [https://bee-swarm-simulator.fandom.com/wiki/Onett_(Developer) Onett]'s [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EZCCjsjgCss ''Stick Bug''] (2019?) – microtonal cover in 10edo by [[Bryan Deister]] (2026). The scale is [[4L 2s]] with a 2:1 step ratio, as in [[decimal]] and [[lemba]] temperaments. The octaves slope up with the rows (as expected for Blackwood) or slightly downwards with the scale, and the range is just under 6 octaves, with the potential for division into multiple manuals (although the upper and lower ones will necessarily be partial or wedge-shaped, depending upon details of the division).
