By a //rotation// or mode of a periodic scale s is meant a scale r such that r[i] = s[i + **N**] - s[n], where **N** is a fixed integer. Since s[i + **P**] - s[**P**] = s[i] there are only a finite number of rotations, equal to the number of notes of the scale reduced to the range of the interval of equivalence, 0 ≤ s[i] &lt; **O**, which entails 0 ≤  i &lt; **P**.
