=== Theorem 4 (Classification of pairwise well-formed scales) ===
=== Theorem 4 (Classification of pairwise well-formed scales) ===
Let ''S''(a, b, c) be a scale word in three '''Z'''-linearly independent step sizes a, b, c. Suppose ''S'' is pairwise well-formed. Then ''S'' is SV3 and has an odd number of notes. Moreover, ''S'' is either GO or equivalent to the scale word abacaba.
Let ''S''(a, b, c) be a scale word in three '''Z'''-linearly independent step sizes a, b, c. Suppose ''S'' is pairwise well-formed (equivalently, all its projections are single-period mosses). Then ''S'' is SV3 and has an odd number of notes. Moreover, ''S'' is either GO or equivalent to the scale word abacaba.
