Step-generated scale: Difference between revisions

Term isn't used anywhere else as far as I can tell, so marked as idiosyncratic; alternate terms (monolarge and monosmall) also added and marked as idiosyncratic

A '''step generated scale'''{{Idiosyncratic}} is a scale, typically a [[moment of symmetry]] scale, whose [[generator]] is a single step in the scale. These scales are characterized by having the same step size throughout except for one step. Such scales are also called monolarge{{Idiosyncratic}} or monosmall{{Idiosyncratic}} scales, for MOS scales with one large step (1L ''n''s) or one small step (''n''L 1s), respectively.

The phrase "step generated scale with octave period", abbreviated as "OPSG scale" or "OSG scale", is attributed to the Wikispace user [[K9assassin]]. The terms "monolarge" and "monosmall" were independently coined by [[User:Ganaram inukshuk|Ganaram inukshuk]], with the former term being used to refer to the entire family of 1L ns MOS scales.

==Properties of OSG Scales==
OSG Scales are nearly equal but with one step size being varying in order to complete the octave.
