One way of distinguishing the '''3/4''' '''diatonic''' scale is by considering it a [[MOS scale|moment of symmetry]] scale produced by a chain of "fifths" (or "fourths") with the step combination of '''5L 2s'''. Among the most well-known variants of this MOS proper are 12EDS's diatonic scale along with both the Pythagorean diatonic scale and the various meantone systems. Other similar scales referred to by the term "diatonic" can be arrived at different ways – for example, through just intonation procedures, or with tetrachords. However, it should be noted that at least the majority of the other scales that fall under this category – such as the just intonation scales that use more than one size of whole tone – are actually JI detemperings or tempered approximations of them that both closely resemble and are derived from this MOS. | One way of distinguishing the '''3/4''' '''diatonic''' scale is by considering it a [[MOS scale|moment of symmetry]] scale produced by a chain of "fifths" (or "fourths") with the step combination of '''5L 2s'''.
