A '''tonality diamond''' is a symmetric organization of [[Otonality and utonality|otonal and utonal]] chords based around a central note and bounded by an [[Odd limit|odd-limit]]. First formalized in the [[7-odd-limit]] by [[wikipedia:Max_Friedrich_Meyer|Max F. Meyer]] in 1929,<ref name="meyer1929">Meyer, Max F.

Tonality diamonds have been used both conceptually (such as for [[Target tuning|targets]] of [[temperaments]]) and practically (such as for instrument layouts) in xenharmonics ever since. | Tonality diamonds have been used both conceptually (such as for [[Target tuning|targets]] of [[temperaments]]) and practically (such as for instrument layouts) in xenharmonics ever since. |
