Note there are many more warted tunings than this with even more extreme tunings, which makes it reasonable to associate the exotemperament with the range of vaguely saner tunings.

==== Superdiatonic (7L 2s) ====

Superdiatonic is the first in a series of mos patterns (5+2k)L 2s, of which diatonic (5L 2s) is the first member. Like 5L 2s, 7L 2s is also a fifth-generated scale and has a structure similar to diatonic in some ways, but is larger.

Like 5L 2s, 7L 2s is also a fifth-generated scale and has a structure similar to diatonic in some ways, but is larger. The name "superdiatonic" also has seen some precedent of use on the Xenwiki.

==== On the term ''diatonic'' ====

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/detuned'' (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.
