TAMNAMS suggests the name '''diatonic''' for this scale, referring to the use of this term to refer to a scale with 5 whole steps and 2 small steps.

Larger edos, such as [[53edo]] (step ratio 9:4), can be reached by repeatedly expanding the tuning spectrum. A larger tuning spectrum can be found in the section tuning spectrum.

The step ratios 1:1 and 1:0 represent the extremes of the tuning spectrum. A step ratio that approaches 1:1, where the large and small step are equal to one another, approaches [[7edo]], and a step ratio that approaches 1:0, where the size of the small step approaches 0 relative to the size of the large step, approaches [[5edo]].
