: A scale | : A scale is a constant structure (CS) if all intervals of the same size are also within the same generic interval class. A single interval cannot be a part of two classes. The 12-tone diatonic scale does not have this property, since tritones can either be augmented fourths or diminished fifths. This is referred to as the ''partitioning property'' in most academic literature. | ||
