<h2>IMPORTED REVISION FROM WIKISPACES</h2>
A cube scale is a 7-limit scale (we might also consider the 9 odd limit) whose notes are derived from a cube in the [[The_Seven_Limit_Symmetrical_Lattices|7-limit lattice of chords]]. For odd n, we will call the octave-reduced set of notes deriving from all chords of the form [i, j, k], (1-n)/2 ≤ i, j, k ≤ (n-1)/2, Cube(n). If n is even, we will use Cube(n) to refer to the notes of [i, j, k] with (2-n)/2 ≤ i, j, k &lt; n/2. If n is odd, Cube(n) has (n+1)^3/2 notes to it; if n is even, its growth is more complicated but still approximately cubic. There are however two types of chord cubes for each n; for even n, we define the alternative cube Alt(n) via -n/2 ≤ i, j, k ≤ (n-2)/2, and for odd n, Alt(n), (1-n)/2 ≤ i+1, j, k ≤ (n-1)/2.

A cube scale is a 7-limit scale (we might also consider the 9 odd limit) whose notes are derived from a cube in the [[The Seven Limit Symmetrical Lattices|7-limit lattice of chords]]. For odd n, we will call the octave-reduced set of notes deriving from all chords of the form [i, j, k], (1-n)/2 &lt;= i, j, k &lt;= (n-1)/2, Cube[n]. If n is even, we will use Cube[n] to refer to the notes of [i, j, k] with 1-n/2 &lt;= i, j, k &lt; n/2. If n is odd, Cube[n] has (n+1)^3/2 notes to it; if n is even, its growth is more complicated but still approximately cubic. For odd n, the inversion of the scale gives another scale, centered around a minor rather than a major tetrad. Here are the first three cube scales:

'''Cube(4) 62 notes'''
A cube scale is a 7-limit scale (we might also consider the 9 odd limit) whose notes are derived from a cube in the &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/The%20Seven%20Limit%20Symmetrical%20Lattices"&gt;7-limit lattice of chords&lt;/a&gt;. For odd n, we will call the octave-reduced set of notes deriving from all chords of the form [i, j, k], (1-n)/2 &amp;lt;= i, j, k &amp;lt;= (n-1)/2, Cube[n]. If n is even, we will use Cube[n] to refer to the notes of [i, j, k] with 1-n/2 &amp;lt;= i, j, k &amp;lt; n/2. If n is odd, Cube[n] has (n+1)^3/2 notes to it; if n is even, its growth is more complicated but still approximately cubic. For odd n, the inversion of the scale gives another scale, centered around a minor rather than a major tetrad. Here are the first three cube scales:&lt;br /&gt;
