Harry Partch is the person most associated with the tonality diamond, and claimed to have invented it. However, it is likely that he plagarized the idea from Meyer.<ref>[https://www.chrysalis-foundation.org/wp-content/uploads/ThePartchHoaxDoctrines.pdf Forster, Cris (2015). ''The Partch Hoax Doctrines''. Self-published.]</ref> Regardless, his extending of the concept to the 11-odd-limit (as well as his other extensions and uses of it) was an extremely important and foundational moment in the history of xenharmonic music.

[[Erv Wilson]] in particular was inspired by Partch's use of the tonality diamond and it's extended form. He developed a number of "diamonds" himself,<ref>[https://anaphoria.com/diamond.pdf Wilson, Erv. ''Letters on Diamond Lattices, 1965–1970'' (PDF). Self-published.]</ref> as well as other concepts based on Partch's extended tonality diamond such as "[[constant structure]]."<ref>[https://www.anaphoria.com/Partchpapers.pdf Wilson, Erv. ''The Partch Papers (collection of documents on Harry Partch’s 11-limit diamond and its extensions), 1964-2002'' (PDF). Self-published.] </ref>
