Scales that consist of an offset but where the two chains have different lengths can be formulated as a modification of a guide-frame scale. An example is chiral diachrome which can be modified from achiral diachrome by moving one note from one GGS chain to the other.

The term is inspired by Scott Dakota's "guide generators". The idea is that a guide frame scale is a detempered MOS.
