A '''chromatic pair''' is a pair of mosses zL ws and xL ys within some temperament, such that x = z + w and y = z, where zL ws is a '''haplotonic''' '''scale''' and xL ys is an '''albitonic''' '''scale'''. The large steps of the albitonic scale are such that haplotonic scale can be found within the large steps, forming a '''chromatic scale''' of either xL (x+y)s or (x+y)L xs. | A '''chromatic pair''' is a pair of mosses zL ws and xL ys within some temperament, such that x = z + w and y = z, where zL ws is a '''haplotonic''' '''scale''' and xL ys is an '''albitonic''' '''scale'''. The large steps of the albitonic scale are such that haplotonic scale can be found within the large steps, forming a '''chromatic scale''' of either xL (x+y)s or (x+y)L xs, or more generally, xA (x+y)B. | ||

A chromatic pair, under the weak definition, is a pair of mosses zL ws and xL ys, such that x = nz + w and y = z. The strict definition is such that n = 1. | A chromatic pair, under the weak definition, is a pair of mosses zL ws and xL ys, such that x = nz + w and y = z. The strict definition is such that n = 1. However, rather than the mosses zL ys and xL ys that form the chromatic scale of xA (x+y)B, it's the mosses zL ((n-1)z+w)s and xL ys that form the chromatic scale. | ||
