Is this a criticism or elaboration of my statement? The 6 diaschismic steps are r p s p r p. s+r+2p is always a major tone. A diatonic semitone is s+p, which is the diaschismic equivalent of r+p. The schismic version is r+2p, hence the discrepancy. I suggest the diaschismic representation was chosen to make it clear that the first interval in each tetrachord is supposed to be a diatonic semitone.
