Carey 1998 writes, ''“Rothenberg calls a scale 'strictly proper' if it possesses a generic ordering, 'proper' if it admits ambiguities but no contradictions, and 'improper' if it admits contradictions.”''<ref>Carey, Norman (1998). ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=Fgc5AQAAIAAJ&dq=improper+rothenberg+music&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=improper Distribution Modulo One and Musical Scales]'', p.103, n.19. University of Rochester. Ph.D. dissertation.</ref>
