== Diatonic ==

The patent fifth ~[[3/2]] is so sharp that attempting to play a standard diatonic scale produces almost exactly a Barbados third ~[[13/10]], so sharp that even though the septimal major third ~[[9/7]] is mapped to the same interval, it is mapped inconsistently; furthermore, the Pythagorean whole tone ~[[9/8]] ~~itself~~ is itself mapped inconsistently, so if you want to play something sounding traditional diatonic, you have to start your scale moving up one key (instead of right one key) to get a classic-sounding whole tone (rather than the septimal version ~[[8/7]], which is just slightly flat), and then up another key (again instead of right) to get the near-just classic major third ~[[5/4]]; getting further classic intervals likewise requires some unusual movements, which would be awkward in combination. Thus, the diatonic mapping in 37edo is actually a xenharmonic mapping by default.
