'''Ptolemy's intense diatonic''' scale (also known as '''Zarlino''', or simply the '''just diatonic scale''') is a [[heptatonic]] [[5-limit]] [[JI]] [[scale]] with the [[nicetone]] step pattern.

It can be constructed as a [[Fokker block]] in multiple ways, making it a [[wakalix]]. Another derivation is through a [[tetrachord]] consisting of [[9/8]], [[10/9]] and [[16/15]]. | |||
It can also be derived from tuning the tonic, dominant and subdominant chords as 5-limit just major chords ([[4:5:6]]): {{dash|FAC, CEG, GBD}}. | |||
