	The '''step variety''' (or '''arity''') of a [[scale]] is the number of distinct [[step]] sizes it has. '''Unary''', '''binary''', '''ternary''', and '''quaternary''' scales are scales with exactly 1, 2, 3, and 4 step sizes, respectively. An ''n'''''-ary scale''' is a scale with exactly ''n'' distinct step sizes.		The '''step variety''' (or '''arity''') of a [[scale]] is the number of distinct [[step]] sizes it has.
