The tonality diamond is a symetric organization of otonal and utonal chords based around a central note and bounded by an odd-limit. First formalized in the 7-odd-limit by Max F Meyer in 1929, they became central to the music and theories of Harry Partch, who built his tonal system around the 11-odd-limit tonality diamond. The principle has been used both conceptually (such as for target intervals of temperaments) and practically (such as for instrument layouts) in xenharmonics ever since.
