These [[step ratio]]s affect the sizes of the diatonic scale's intervals and correspond to different tuning systems. | ||
Among the most well-known forms of this scale are the Pythagorean diatonic scale, and scales produced by meantone systems (including [[12edo]]). | Among the most well-known forms of this scale are the Pythagorean diatonic scale, and scales produced by meantone systems (including [[12edo]]). | ||
