Line 5:

Nicetone is intermediate between the [[5L 2s]] diatonic scale and the [[3L 4s]] neutral scale.

~~Nicetone~~ can be tuned as a [[5-limit]] JI scale ~~or a tempered version thereof~~, where L represents [[9/8]], M represents [[10/9]], and s represents [[16/15]].

It can be tuned as a [[5-limit]] [[JI]] scale, where L represents [[9/8]], M represents [[10/9]], and s represents [[16/15]], known as [[Ptolemy's intense diatonic]]. It consists of the intervals [[1/1]]–9/8–[[5/4]]–[[4/3]]–[[3/2]]–[[5/3]]–[[15/8]]–[[2/1]]. See the dedicated page for Scala files and Fokker blocks information.

'''Ptolemy's intense diatonic scale''' is a [[heptatonic]] [[5-limit]] [[JI]] [[scale]] with the [[nicetone]] step pattern. It consists of the intervals [[1/1]] - 9/8 - [[5/4]] - [[4/3]] - [[3/2]] - [[5/3]] - [[15/8]] - [[2/1]].
