'''{{PAGENAME}}''' ('''AGS''') is a scale-building procedure first described by [[Scott Dakota]]. The notation AGS(''x''1, ..., ''x''r) denotes a scale-building procedure where a ([[Periodic scale|periodic]]) scale is built by stacking ''x''1 first, ''x''2 second, ..., reducing by the scale's [[equave]] when necessary. When ''x''r is stacked, we go back to ''x''1 and start stacking ''x''1 again, then ''x''2, ... This article adopts a convention where an enumerated chord can be used instead for part of whole of the argument, where the chord's steps are generators, ~~e.g.~~ AGS(4:5:6)[7~~] for [[Zarlino]~~], which is syntactic sugar for AGS(5/4, 6/5)[7].

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.
