'''{{PAGENAME}}''' ('''AGS''') is a scale-building procedure first described by [[Scott Dakota]]. AGS(x<sub>1</sub>, ..., x<sub>r</sub>) denotes a scale-building procedure where a ([[Periodic scale|periodic]]) scale is built by stacking x<sub>1</sub> first, x<sub>2</sub> second, ..., reducing by the scale's [[equave]] when necessary. When x<sub>r</sub> 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 [[constant structure]] AGS scales, which are 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(x) is stacking a single generator x to make a rank-2 scale, such as a [[MOS scale]].
