If there are three types of scale (haplotonic, albitonic and chromatic scale), should not this page be called "chromatic triples"? Also, in some temperaments, there are fourth and even fifth types of scales like "mega-albitonic" and "mega-chromatic".

I once came up with a stricter definition that I'll propose: a pair of mosses xL ys and (x+y)L xs, such that x < y, where the two mosses combined form a child mos of (x+y)L xs, or the albitonic mos's chromatic scale: usually (x+y)L (2x+y)s or (2x+y)L (x+y)s. Basically two scales that combine to form a chromatic scale. In the case of intermediate mosses, it's usually (if xL ys is instead the albitonic mos) xL ys, xL (x+y)s (mega-albitonic), and (2x+y)L xs (chromatic). Such sequences would not fall under the strict definition described, but would fall under a less strict definition that allows for intermediate scales. Worse still, some scale sequences have more than one haplotonic scale. [[User:Ganaram inukshuk|Ganaram inukshuk]] ([[User talk:Ganaram inukshuk|talk]]) 04:42, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
