In particular, odd GO scales always satisfy these properties (see Proposition 2 below).

and use the vectors (-1, 2) and (ceil(n/2), 1) as the Fokker block chromas. A Fokker block has the property that tempering out by each of the chromas gives two mosses. These correspond to the L = M and M = s temperings. The L = s case follows by symmetry.

For (7), consider the mos aX 2bW as chunks of X separated by W (tempering Y and Z together into W). Eliminating every other W turns it into a mos, because the sum of sizes of consecutive chunks of X (1st chunk with 2nd chunk, 3rd with 4th, ...) must form a mos. This is because the chunk sizes of X form a mos, and taking every kth note of an n-note mos where k divides n yields a mos.
