=== Proof of Theorem ===
Let n = 2a + b (the basic edo tuning of aLbs) and suppose that m\(2n) is an interordinal (where m must be odd) between k-steps and (k+1)-steps, denoted kX(k+1)ms. Recall that:
Let n = 2a + b (the basic edo tuning of aLbs) and suppose that m\(2n) is an interordinal (where m must be odd) between k-steps and (k+1)-steps, denoted (k+1)ms. Recall that:
* In basic aLbs, s = 1\n = 2\2n.  
* In basic aLbs, s = 1\n = 2\2n.  
* A concrete mos tuning is improper iff its hardness is > 2/1 and the number of s steps it has is > 1.
* A concrete mos tuning is improper iff its hardness is > 2/1 and the number of s steps it has is > 1.

*** Hence, (C+D)-(A+B) ≥ floor(2μ).
*** Hence, (C+D)-(A+B) ≥ floor(2μ).
*** Also, (C+D)-(A+B) ≤ 2*ceil(μ)-2 = 2(ceil(μ)-1) = 2*floor(μ). This is a contradiction: as 3/2 < μ < 2, we have floor(2μ) &minus; 2*floor(μ) = 1.  
*** Also, (C+D)-(A+B) ≤ 2*ceil(μ)-2 = 2(ceil(μ)-1) = 2*floor(μ). This is a contradiction: as 3/2 < μ < 2, we have floor(2μ) &minus; 2*floor(μ) = 1.  
* As s is the chroma of bL(a-b)s, it ''would'' be the difference between major and minor intervals in the parent mos, assuming these interval sizes (smaller k+1-step, larger k-step) occur in the parent; so kX(k+1) would become neutral or semiperfect.
* As s is the chroma of bL(a-b)s, it ''would'' be the difference between major and minor intervals in the parent mos, assuming these interval sizes (smaller k+1-step, larger k-step) occur in the parent; so (k+1) would become neutral or semiperfect.
* To show that these actually occur in bL(a-b)s, consider smaller and larger j-steps ( 1 ≤ j ≤ a-1) in the parent mos. These intervals also occur in the mos aLbs separated by s, and the number of j’s (“junctures”) that correspond to these places in aLbs is exactly a-1. These j's correspond to values of k such that larger k-step < smaller k+1-step. Note that we are considering “junctures” between k-steps and k+1-steps in aLbs, excluding k = 0 and k = a+b-1, so the total number of “junctures” to consider is finite, namely a+b-2. This proves parts (1) and (2).
