If v[1] is even, we choose a monzo u such that T(u) is minimal under the condition that T(u) &gt; 0; in other words, u is a shortest positive length interval. Then for each integer j, where 0 less than j less than or equal to v[1], we choose a corresponding monzo m such that &lt;v|m&gt; = j, 0 less than &lt;J|m&gt; less than or equal to 1, and where T(2m - u) is minimal.

The intervals selected by this process are a [[transveral]] of te scale, and we may now apply the chosen tuning to the monzos in the transveral, obtaining values (in cents or fractional monzos) defining a scale. The monzos in the transversal are defined only modulo the commas of the temperament, but since these are tempered out this does not affect the definition of the scale.

An alternative and equivalent approach is to work directly with the notes of the temperament, using the [[Tenney-Euclidean metrics|temperamental norm]] defined on the note classes of the temperament modulo period (an octave or fraction of an octave) of the temperament.
