The '''mediant hull''' or '''Farey hull''' of a set of [[edo]] tunings for a given scale structure is the tuning range defined as the set of all tunings that can be obtained by taking a finite number of mediants of the starting edo tunings, or as a limit of a sequence of finite mediants. We write the mediant hull of tunings by putting double bars <code>||</code> between the tunings. For example, <code>5L 2s(7||12)</code>, the mediant hull of 7edo [[diatonic]] and 12edo diatonic, is [[TAMNAMS|soft-of-basic]] diatonic.
