Talk:Augmented fifth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Diatonic and chromatic

The article uses the term "diatonic" controversially, and without adequate explanation. This term, along with chromatic, is the cause of serious uncertainties at several Wikipedia articles, and in the broader literature. Some of us thought that both terms needed special coverage, so we started up a new article: Diatonic and chromatic. Why not have a look, and join the discussion? Be ready to have comfortable assumptions challenged! – Noetica^♬♩ Talk 06:13, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Diatonic interval?

As the article stands, a reader would come away from it with the assurance that the augmented fifth is a diatonic interval, despite the fact that it has no "diatonic occurrence". (Read, checking for occurrences of the word diatonic.) Is this a good idea? In a couple of senses the interval is diatonic, but in a couple of other senses it is not (see Diatonic and chromatic). Perhaps this needs some work.
