* '''Case 3:''' The scale is a multi-period moment-of-symmetry scale. Because a multi-period scale consists of a single MOS-like chunk that's repeated throughout the scale, x and y necessarily share a common factor c, where c is the greatest common factor of x and y, and c is the number of times that chunk is repeated. Therefore, when considering a multi-period moment-of-symmetry scale, only the first chunk, the first (x+y)/c steps of the scale, needs to be considered. This chunk will fall under case 1 or case 2, or one of the special cases.

* The special case for case 1 is when there is only one s in the scale. The scale is a moment-of-symmetry scale where the entire scale is considered to be one chunk.
* The special case for case 1 is when there is only one s in the scale. The scale is a moment-of-symmetry scale where the entire scale is considered to be one chunk.
* The special case for case 2 is when there is only one L in the scale. The scale is a moment-of-symmetry scale where the entire scale is considered to be one chunk.
* The special case for case 2 is when there is only one L in the scale. The scale is a moment-of-symmetry scale where the entire scale is considered to be one chunk.
