All right, now you're starting to get really annoying and stupid.

"Dia" as in diatonic from Greek roots means, regardless of literal translation or how much of an arse you want to be, SEVEN tone scale... PERIOD.

End of discussion. I told you the history and where the root comes from for the word diatonic and what it meant to the people who first used it.

And chromatic means "skin-like". So the chromatic scale means all the tones in the ancient Grecian sense.

I know this may be a hard concept for somebody so full of themselves to understand, but some words in other languages translate literally in a way far different than their actual understood meaning.

Now jog on before I get a mod in here.
