# The ''cumulative form'' (the formalization on the article), a monotone increasing function <math>S: \mathbb{Z}\to \mathbb{R}</math> such that ''S''(0) = 0 (unison) and ''S''(''k'' len(''S'')) = ''kE'' where ''E'' is the equave.

# The ''step form'', the sequence of steps in the scale, related to the above via Δ''S''(''k'') = ''S''(''k'' + 1) − ''S''(''k''), which is nonnegative and periodic in the usual math sense.

We can also mention scales considered more abstractly, <math>S: \mathbb{Z}\to A</math> where ''A'' is any abelian group such as <math>\mathbb{R}</math> (log-frequency interval space), a free abelian group on steps, or a JI subgroup.

We can also mention scales considered more abstractly, <math>S: \mathbb{Z}\to A</math> where ''A'' is any torsion-free abelian group such as <math>\mathbb{R}</math> (log-frequency interval space), a free abelian group on steps, or a JI subgroup.
