* A strengthening of the generator-offset property, tentatively named the ''split-generator-alternant property'' (SGA), states that the alternants ''g''<sub>1</sub> and ''g''<sub>2</sub> can be taken to always subtend the same number of scale steps, thus both representing "detemperings" of a generator of a single-period [[mos]] scale (otherwise known as a well-formed scale). Only odd GO scales and xyxz can satisfy this property. The Zarlino and diasem scales above are both SGA. [[Blackdye]] is GO but not SGA.
