The 19edo diaharmonic scale is interesting because it can combine the melodic advantages of neomedieval systems (like [[17edo|17edo]] and Pythagorean) with the harmonic advantages of a meantone system. We can do this by shrinking the diatonic semitone in a melodic line while expanding the preceding whole tone. Essentially in major keys, we have a diatonic scale with two extra notes, one which can function either as an "ascending/augmented third" or a "descending/diminished" fourth, and the other which can function either as an "ascending/augmented seventh" or "descending/diminished" octave. | The 19edo diaharmonic scale is interesting because it can combine the melodic advantages of neomedieval systems (like [[17edo|17edo]] and Pythagorean) with the harmonic advantages of a meantone system.
