ABACABADABACABA is the (8,4,2,1) [[SNS]] pattern (the rank-4 power SNS). When covering a period of 2/1, such scales are known as Cantor-3 scales. ABACABADABACABA scales can be conceived of as two ABACABA scales separated by an interval D, akin to how ABACABA scales can be conceived of as two ABA tetrachords separated by an interval C. We will classify ABACABADABACABA scales on this page as such, grouping them by the interval subtended by ABACABA, which we will call an octochord. As [[step-nested scales]], ABACABADABACABA scales can be described of as SNS (P, P/O, O/T, A), or equivalently as SNS (P, O, T, A) etc. where P is the period, H is the interval subtended by ABACABA, the octochord, and T is the interval subtended by ABA, the tetrachord. ABACABADABACABA scales, unlike ABA and ABACABA scales, are not pairwise-well formed, and thus their mean variety is above 4. ABACABADABACABA scales have v4454654 4564544, with mean variety ~ 4.57.
