In the following tables, the generators stacked in the generator sequence is such that the perfect generator has fewer <math>\mathbf{X}</math> steps than the imperfect counterpart.

To derive groundfault's diamech scale which has step pattern <math>5\mathbf{L}2\mathbf{m}4\mathbf{s}</math> as <math>\mathsf{MOS\_subst}(5, 2, 4; \mathbf{m}, \mathbf{s}; k)</math>, we exploit <math>(b, c) = 2</math> and substitute <math>2\mathbf{m}4\mathbf{s}</math> into the template MOS <math>5\mathbf{L}6\mathbf{X}</math> (<math>\mathbf{LXLXLXLXLXX}</math>).
