# The fifth (3L + M + 2S) of blackdye must be a diatonic fifth. <!--
# Assuming positive step sizes, the fifth (3L + M + 2S) of blackdye must be a diatonic fifth.<!--
#* (To see this: Consider the chain of fifths generated by the fifth. The diatonic chroma = 7 fifths - 4 octaves = 21L + 7M + 14S - (20L + 8M + 12S) = L - M + 2S. Since L - M >= 0, this must always be nonnegative, so the fifth must be >= 4\7. The fifth cannot be sharper than 3\5, since it generates the [[2L 3s|2L' 3s']] subset of blackdye with L' = ML and s' = SL.)-->
