[[TAMNAMS]] suggests the temperament-agnostic name '''diatonic''' for this scale, which commonly refers to a scale with 5 whole steps and 2 half 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 half steps. See [[TAMNAMS/Appendix#On_the_term_diatonic]] for further clarification.

The term ''diatonic'' may also refer to scales that have more than one size of whole step, such as those produced using [[Tetrachord|tetrachords]] or [[just intonation]]. Such diatonic-like 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.
