A '''cross-set scale''' (or simply '''cross-set''') is a [[scale]] produced by taking every ordered pair in the [[Wikipedia:Cartesian product|Cartesian product]] of two scales, or of a scale with itself, and stacking all elements in each ordered pair. 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]].

In combinatorics, this operation is called a [[wikipedia:Sumset|sumset]].
