The '''standard Lumatone mapping for Pythagorean-like scale systems''' has a C on the middle of the 5 keys sticking out the very left side of the keyboard, and the C major scale goes horizontally across the keyboard from there. The whole tone goes right-and-slightly-up and the [[diatonic semitone]] goes right-and-down, which implies that the [[apotome]] (the amount by which {{sharp}}/{{flat}} alter pitches) goes up-and-slightly-right. | The '''standard Lumatone mapping for Pythagorean-like scale systems''' has a C on the middle of the 5 keys sticking out the very left side of the keyboard, and the C major scale goes horizontally across the keyboard from there.

This mapping can be used without alteration for any rank-2 system whose period is an octave and whose generator is a (perhaps tempered) fourth or fifth. This includes [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]], [[meantone]], [[superpyth]], [[helmholtz]], etc. | This mapping can be used without alteration for any rank-2 system whose period is an octave and whose generator is a (perhaps tempered) fourth or fifth.
