'''{{PAGENAME}}''' ('''AGS''') is a scale-building procedure developed by Scott Dakota. AGS(x<sub>1</sub>, ..., x<sub>r</sub>) denotes a scale-building procedure where an equave-equivalent scale is built by stacking x1 first, x2 second, ..., reducing by the equave when necessary. When xr is stacked, we go back to x<sub>1</sub> and start stacking x<sub>1</sub> again, then x<sub>2</sub>, ... Currently, the study of AGSs is dominated by scales obtained by stopping the stacking procedure at scale sizes that yield constant-structure scales.

Certain [[generator-offset property|generator-offset]] scales are examples. For example, [[diasem]] is AGS(8/7, 7/6) or AGS(7/6, 8/7) depending on [[chirality]]. The trivial case AGS(x1) is stacking a single generator x1 to make a rank-2 scale, such as a [[MOS scale]].
