m Modes: In view of the "bright-to-dark" chains of modes given by the generator, there's no reason to keep brightened and bright etc. separate

Diasem has 18 modes, 9 modes of LH diasem and 9 modes of RH diasem. To minimize bias (e.g. towards certain tunings), this article names the modes after the [[semiquartal]] mode that the diasem mode is based on (the semiquartal modes are given in [[UDP notation]]). We also have provided diatonic-based names, which are useful in tunings where S is relatively small, such as 26edo and 31edo.

=== Arranged by generator chain ===
When we arrange the modes in the order given by rotating each mode by the generator (the perfect fifth) we obtain the following families of modes (">" roughly means 'brighter than'):
