The term is inspired by Scott Dakota's "guide generators". The idea is that a guide frame scale is a detempered version of a MOS scale which may be 1-period or multiperiod; the MOS scale is the "frame". | The term is inspired by Scott Dakota's "guide generators".

== Complexity of a guide frame == | |||
The ''complexity'' of a guide frame is defined as multiplicity * the length of the GS. | |||
If the scale can be viewed as a guide frame in multiple ways, the complexity of such a scale is defined as the smallest of the complexities. One important caveat is that the simplest guide frame may not agree with the guide frame given by the MOS substitution scale structure. | |||
