Original Wikitext content:
The Diamond can also be thought of as being formed by the common tone modulations of all the elements in a set. It is also known as a Lambdoma The scale steps of the tonality diamond are superparticular ratios, but they are not very evenly distributed. Filling in the gaps, as Harry Partch did with the 11-limit diamond to create a constant structure for his famous Genesis scale, is one way to go about constructing a just intonation scale. A constant structure is where each occurrence of a ratio will always have the same number of scale steps. While this is not completely possible with the 11-limit diamond, Partch was able to do so except in two places. This makes his 43 tone scale related to a 41 tone constant structure with two alternates. ==see also== * [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonality_diamond|Tonality diamond -- Wikipedia]]
