TAMNAMS suggests the name '''diatonic''' for this scale, which commonly refers to a scale with 5 whole steps and 2 small steps. Under TAMNAMS and for all scale pattern pages on the wiki, '''the term ''diatonic'' exclusively refers to 5L 2s'''.


Under TAMNAMS and for all scale pattern pages on the wiki, '''the term ''diatonic'' exclusively refers to 5L 2s'''. Other diatonic-based scales, such as [[Zarlino]], [[blackdye]] and [[diasem]], are called ''[[Detempering|detempered]] diatonic scales'' (for an RTT-based philosophy) or ''deregularized diatonic scales'' (for an RTT-agnostic philosophy). The terms ''diatonic-like'' or ''diatonic-based'' may also be used to refer to diatonic-based scales, depending on what's contextually the most appropriate.
The term ''diatonic'' may also refer to scales produced using tetrachords, just intonation, or in general have more than one size of whole tone. Such diatonic-based scales, such as [[Zarlino]], [[blackdye]] and [[diasem]], are called ''[[Detempering|detempered]] diatonic scales'' (for an RTT-based philosophy) or ''deregularized diatonic scales'' (for an RTT-agnostic philosophy). The terms ''diatonic-like'' or ''diatonic-based'' may also be used to refer such scales, depending on what's contextually the most appropriate.

5L 2s, named diatonic in TAMNAMS, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 5 large steps and 2 small steps, repeating every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 685.7 ¢ to 720 ¢, or from 480 ¢ to 514.3 ¢. Among the most-well known forms of this scale are the Pythagorean diatonic scale and those produced by meantone systems.

Name

TAMNAMS suggests the name diatonic for this scale, which commonly refers to a scale with 5 whole steps and 2 small steps. Under TAMNAMS and for all scale pattern pages on the wiki, the term diatonic exclusively refers to 5L 2s.

The term diatonic may also refer to scales produced using tetrachords, just intonation, or in general have more than one size of whole tone. Such diatonic-based scales, such as Zarlino, blackdye and diasem, are called detempered diatonic scales (for an RTT-based philosophy) or deregularized diatonic scales (for an RTT-agnostic philosophy). The terms diatonic-like or diatonic-based may also be used to refer such scales, depending on what's contextually the most appropriate.

Notation

Intervals

Intervals are identical to that of standard notation. As such, the usual interval qualities of major/minor and augmented/perfect/diminished apply here.

Interval class Large variety Small variety
Size Quality Size Quality
1st (unison) 0 Perfect 0 Perfect
2nd L Major s Minor
3rd 2L Major L + s Minor
4th 3L Augmented 2L + 1s Perfect
5th 3L + 1s Perfect 2L + 2s Diminished
6th 4L + 1s Major 3L + 2s Minor
7th 5L + 1s Major 4L + 2s Minor
8th (octave) 5L + 2s Perfect 5L + 2s Perfect

Note names

Note names are identical to that of standard notation. Thus, the basic (12edo) gamut for 5L 2s is the following:

J, J&/K@, K, L, L&/M@, M, M&/N@, N, N&/O@, O, P, P&/J@, J

Theory

Introduction to large and small steps

The familiar pattern of 5 whole steps and 2 half steps, commonly written as WWHWWWH for the major scale, has step sizes of 2 (whole step) and 1 (small step), producing 12edo. This can be generalized into the form LLsLLLs, with whole-number sizes for the large steps (denoted as "L") and small steps (denoted as "s").

Different edos are produced by using different ratios of step sizes. A few examples are shown below.

Step ratio (L:s) Step pattern EDO Selected multiples
1:1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 7edo 14edo, 21edo, etc.
4:3 4 4 3 4 4 4 3 26edo
3:2 3 3 2 3 3 3 2 19edo 38edo
5:3 5 5 3 5 5 5 3 31edo
2:1 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 12edo (standard tuning) 24edo, 36edo, etc.
5:2 5 5 2 5 5 5 2 29edo
3:1 3 3 1 3 3 3 1 17edo 34edo
4:1 4 4 1 4 4 4 1 22edo
1:0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 5edo 10edo, 15edo, etc.

Edos that are multiples of the examples above can be reached by entering non-simplified step ratios. For example, edos that are multiples of 12 are reached by using larger values whose ratio simplifies to 2:1, such as 4:2 for 24edo.

The step ratios 1:1 and 1:0 represent the limits for valid step ratios. 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 small step "collapses" to zero, approaches 5edo.

The step ratios shown above form a continuum of step ratios. The section Tuning spectrum shows how this is made, as well as a larger spectrum.

Rank-2 temperament interpretations

Main article: 5L 2s/Temperaments

5L 2s has several rank-2 temperament interpretations, such as:

  • Meantone, with generators around 696.2¢. This includes:
    • Flattone, with generators around 693.7¢.
  • Schismic, with generators around 702¢.
  • Parapyth, with generators around 704.7¢.
  • Archy, with generators around 709.3¢. This includes:
    • Supra, with generators around 707.2¢
    • Superpyth, with generators around 710.3¢
    • Ultrapyth, with generators around 713.7¢.

Step ratio ranges

Simple step ratios

17edo and 19edo, produced using step ratios of 3:1 and 3:2 respectively, are the smallest edos that offer a greater variety of pitches than 12edo. Note that any enharmonic equivalences that 12edo has no longer hold for either 17edo or 19edo, as shown in the table below.

Hypohard step ratios

Main article: Pythagorean tuning and schismatic temperament

The range of hypohard step ratios can be divided into a minihard range (between 2:1 and 5:2) and quasihard range (between 5:2 and 3:1).

Minihard step ratios

Minihard step ratios correspond to Pythagorean tuning and schismatic temperament, characterized by having a perfect 5th that is as close to just (701.96¢) as possible, resulting in a major 3rd of 81/64 (407¢).

Quasihard step ratios

Quasihard step ratios correspond to "neogothic" or "parapyth" systems whose perfect 5th is slightly sharper than just, resulting in major 3rds that are sharper than 81/64 and minor 3rds that are slightly flat of 32/27 (294¢).

17edo is considered to be on the sharper end of the neogothic spectrum, with a major 3rd that is more discordant than flatter neogothic tunings.

Scales

Subset and superset scales

5L 2s has a parent scale of 2L 3s, meaning 5L 2s contains 2L 3s as a subset. 5L 2s also has two child scales that both contain 5L 2s as a subset: either 7L 5s (if the step ratio is less than 2:1) or 5L 7s (if the step ratio is greater than 2:1). A step ratio exactly 2:1 will produce 12edo, an equalized form of 5L 7s and 7L 5s.

Tuning spectrum

A spectrum of step ratios can be produced by starting with the ratios 1:1 and 1:0 and repeatedly finding the mediants between adjacent ratios. The first three iterations are shown below.

This process can be repeated to produce a finer, larger continuum of step ratios as shown below, with each ratio producing a different edo.Template:Scale tree
