Now we only need to see that SGA + 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. <math>\square</math>

An odd generator-offset scale is SGA.
==== Counterexamples ====
This is false for the 5-note scale 0 250 300 700 750 1200 with alternants 700 and 50: the 1-steps form the chain 250 50 400 50 450 and the 2-steps form the chain 300 450 700 250 500.

An SGA scale is always pairwise-well-formed. That is, the result of identifying any two step sizes of an SGA scale is always a non-multiperiod mos.
