* Similarly, "chromatic scale" does not refer explicitly to the chromatic scale, but to the 12 interval classes it defines, such that a diminished fourth, a double-augmented second, and a major third are all in the same chromatic interval class (4\12). So it does not matter if [[m-chromatic]] or [[p-chromatic]] is used; both of them work the same in this context. | * Similarly, "chromatic scale" does not refer explicitly to the chromatic scale, but to the 12 interval classes it defines, such that a diminished fourth, a double-augmented second, and a major third are all in the same chromatic interval class (4\12).
