In TAMNAMS, [[diatonic]] exclusively refers to 5L 2s. Other diatonic-based scales (specifically with 3 step sizes or more), such as [[Zarlino]], [[blackdye]] and [[diasem]], are called ''[[Detempering|detempered]]'' (if the philosophy is [[RTT]]-based) or ''deregularized'' (RTT-agnostic) ''diatonic scales''. The adjectives ''diatonic-like'' or ''diatonic-based'' may also be used to refer to diatonic-based scales, depending on what's contextually the most appropriate. | In TAMNAMS, [[diatonic]] exclusively refers to 5L 2s.

(The choice of how to define ''diatonic'' isn't bound by history, since many other terms have different meanings depending on the historical musical system referred to, for example the ''enharmonic scale'' may refer to a fifth-based scale with 12edo enharmonics not equated, or to an ancient Greek genus.) | |||
