####If ''y'' > ''x'', every instance of an L in both intervals is replaced with ''u'' L's and one s, and every s replaced with ''v'' L's and one s. This produces the final scale's generator and complement. | ####If ''y'' > ''x'', every instance of an L in both intervals is replaced with ''u'' L's and one s, and every s replaced with ''v'' L's and one s.

The length of ''gen'' is the number of mossteps for the bright generator, and the length of ''comp'' is the number of mossteps in the dark generator. For our example of 3L 4s, the algorithm returns the step pattern '''Ls''' as the bright generator and '''LsLss''' as its complement, which are 2 and 5 mossteps wide, respectively. Since the large size of a bright generator is perfect and its small size diminished, and the small size of a dark generator is perfect and its small size perfect, the scale's generators can be identified as shown in the table. | The length of ''gen'' is the number of mossteps for the bright generator, and the length of ''comp'' is the number of mossteps in the dark generator.

Expanding the named range to include mosses fewer than 6 steps entails naming pentatonic and tetratonic mosses, and smaller. | Expanding the named range to include mosses fewer than 6 steps entails naming pentatonic and tetratonic mosses, and smaller. | ||
