=== Ternary scales and WFGS ===
If a ternary [[billiard scale]] has a WFGS, the WFGS must use either two or three distinct generators, since ternary billiard scales are MV3 or MV4 and the closing generator is excluded from the generator sequence.

'''Conjecture:''' There are only finitely many ternary scales with a 3-interval WFGS.
 
'''Conjecture:''' There exist no ternary scale with more than 14 notes that has a 3-interval WFGS.
== MOS substitution ==
[[MOS substitution]] is a procedure that yields ternary scales with binary generator sequences.

To extend the GS construction to a multiple-period MOS that splits the 2/1 into p > 1 periods, we can take a MOS-sized CS generated with a WFGS, and take offset copies of this scale by a detempered version of p-edo. This is what Inthar calls a ''multi-(WF)GS''.
