* A.2.i. | * A.2.i. The imperfect generator of ''T'' occurs only at one position. Call the unique imperfect position ''p''. | ||
* A.2.ii. Say that the number of '''X''' steps in a ''perfect'' generator is ''i'', and the number of '''W''' steps in a ''perfect'' generator is ''j'', we have that {{nowrap|''k'' {{=}} ''i'' + ''j''.}} | * A.2.ii.

* A.2.iii. We know from MOS theory that letter counts in ''k''-steps (for any fixed ''k'') differ by at most 1. Assume, possibly after taking the equave complement, that the imperfect generator has one ''more'' '''X''': the imperfect generator has {{nowrap|(''i'' + 1)-many}} '''X''''s, and {{nowrap|(''j'' − 1)-many}} '''W''''s. | * A.2.iii.
