* A strengthening of the generator-offset property, tentatively named the ''swung-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). All odd GO scales are SGA, and aside from odd GO scales, only xyxz satisfies this property. The Zarlino and diasem scales above are both SGA. [[Blackdye]] is GO but not SGA. | * A strengthening of the generator-offset property, tentatively named the ''swung-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).

* An ''odd-step'' is a ''k''-step where ''k'' is odd; an ''even-step'' is defined similarly. | |||
