For example, Blackwood[10] in 15edo can be notated as {2, 5edo, 1}. | ||

Offset must be coprime to the number A, otherwise notes would just overlap. | Offset must be coprime to the number A, otherwise notes would just overlap. | ||
In instances where root notes of the scales make a regular polygon, the "offset" description is omitted. For example, a compound of two novemkleismic scales from 333edo in 666edo, set up two tritones apart, is just a compound of two novemkleismics. Likewise, a compound of five diatonics in 60edo with each tonic being a step of 5edo is just a compound of 5 diatonics. | |||
