Cross-set scales may also be generalized to more than two initial scales. | ||
If the second scale is the inverse of the first scale (e.g. ''a'' becomes 1/''a''), the result is a reciprocal cross-set (scale). If additionally the first scale is a sequence of odd harmonics starting from 1, the result is a [[tonality diamond]]. | If the second scale is the inverse of the first scale (e.g. ''a'' becomes 1/''a''), the result is a reciprocal cross-set (scale).
