:::::::: As far as I'm aware, "Diatonic" can also contrast with names of other distinct scale types, such as "Neapolitan" and "Harmonic"- as per the definition of "Diatonic" listed on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatonic_scale Wikipedias article on the Diatonic Scale]. When viewed in this light, one can say that "Diatonic" intervals are the only types of intervals found in Diatonic scales, while "Harmonic" intervals are the intervals that characterize Harmonic scales, and "Neapolitan" intervals are the intervals that characterize Neapolitan scales. However, "Melodic" scales are an interesting case, as they are characterized by having one augmented fifth, and one diminished fourth, but in this case, we can use "Melodic" as a way of specifying those specific augmented and diminished intervals that show up in Melodic scales, such as [[25/16]] and [[32/25]]. I must also point out that 81/64 also counts as a "Diatonic" interval by this criteria, and furthermore, both 81/64 and 5/4 tend to occur in my Diatonic Scales, thus, to distinguish 5/4 from 81/64, we need an extra term. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 15:43, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

:::::::: Hmm... Since the 3-limit is the most important limit for navigation in terms of key signatures, how about we call Pythagorean intervals with an odd limit less that 1024 "Basic"? --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 16:17, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
