[edit]

Please note, that diatessaron, diapente, and diapason are simply the Greek terms for quarta (fourth), quinta (fifth), and octava (octave), but they do not imply a certain tuning system, because within the Greek tone system the proportions are always 4:3, 3:2, and 2:1, which says nothing about the diatonic, chromatic, or enharmonic intervals used for the division of the tetrachord.
