Let ''S'' be a 3-step-size scale word in L, M, and s, and suppose ''S'' is alt-gen. Then:
Let ''S'' be a 3-step-size scale word in L, M, and s, and suppose ''S'' is alt-gen. Then:
# ''S'' is unconditionally MV3 (i.e. MV3 regardless of tuning).

(The above holds for any odd ''n'' ≥ 3.)
(The above holds for any odd ''n'' ≥ 3.)


Now we only need to see that alt-gen + odd cardinality => unconditionally MV3. But the argument in case 2 above works for any interval class (unconditional MV3 wasn't used), hence any interval class comes in at most 3 sizes regardless of tuning.
