TAMNAMS suggests the temperament-agnostic 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'''. | [[TAMNAMS]] suggests the temperament-agnostic name '''diatonic''' for this scale, which commonly refers to a scale with 5 whole steps and 2 small steps.

The term ''diatonic'' may also refer to scales produced using [[Tetrachord|tetrachords]], [[just intonation]], or in general have more than one size of whole tone. Such scales, such as [[Zarlino]], [[blackdye]] and [[diasem]], are specifically 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. | The term ''diatonic'' may also refer to scales produced using [[Tetrachord|tetrachords]], [[just intonation]], or in general have more than one size of whole tone.

17edo and 19edo | [[17edo]] and [[19edo]] 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.{{MOS degrees|Scale Signature=5L 2s|Step Ratio=2/1; 3/1; 3/2|Genchain Extend=7}} | ||

5L 2s has a parent scale of 2L 3s, meaning | 5L 2s has a parent scale of [[2L 3s]], a pentatonic scale, meaning 2L 3s is a subset. 5L 2s also has the two child scales, which are supersets of 5L 2s: | ||
* [[7L 5s]], a chromatic scale produced using soft-of-basic step ratios. | |||
* [[5L 7s]], a chromatic scale produced using hard-of-basic step ratios. | |||
12edo contains 5L 2s as the equalized form of both 5L 7s and 7L 5s. | |||
