Diatonically

According to Talbot, the highest string will produce an E on the first line in the key of G; the second string, a D, the third, a C, and so forth, diatonically, until we reach the low string that will produce a D below the first additional low line in the key of F in instruments with sixteen strings and a C in seventeen-stringed instruments. ❋ Lu (2009)

The first line is sung and then repeated to roughly the same melodic phrase (perhaps the same phrase played diatonically a perfect fourth away), the third line has a different melodic phrase: ❋ Robert M. Baker (1998)

The minor key in which the Sclavonic folksong was usually couched, together with its extraordinary variety of rhythm and phrase, protected it from this monotony, the minor keys having infinitely richer resources of colour, even when strictly diatonically treated, than the major. ❋ Various (N/A)

Still later a sign for two steps was invented [Step] [G: e 'g' b '] and when the progression was to be diatonically stepwise the strokes were thicker [Thick Step] [G: g' a 'b']. ❋ Edward MacDowell (1884)

Firstly, this lesson assumes you know how to form major and minor scales, as well as form basic chords and fit them diatonically, and the basics of timing. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Since C (assume Ionian) and A minor(assume aeolian) are diatonically indistinguishable and since A minor(aeolian) is the relative minor of C major I don’t think bi-tonal is an accurate description. ❋ Unknown (2006)
