=== Dipentatonic rank-3 scale patterns ===
A rank-3 dipentatonic scale with step sizes ''5x ay (5-a)z'' has the form ''xYxYxYxYxY'' where the ''Y'''s are the ''y'' and ''z'' arranged in the [[MOS]] pattern ay (5-a)z. The interlocking pentatonics are copies of the mos ''aL (5-a)s'' if ''y > z'' and ''(5-a)L as'' if ''z > y''. The following is a complete list of such abstract patterns, assuming octave equivalence:
