Where the [[Meantone]] tempered diatonic scale can be labelled as Meantone[7], we may instead describe it through its derivation as a SN scale through labeling it (2/1, 3/2: 81/80)[7], which specifies that a) introduces the intervals 2/1 and 3/2, and then b) is applied until a 7-note scale is reached, and that 81/80 is tempered out in the scale.

The scale (2/1, 3/2, 5/4: 225/224)[7] describes a [[Marvel]] tempered double harmonic scale, with step signatures (2, 1, 4) mapped to (~7/6, ~9/8, 16/15~15/14).
