By ''generatedness'', we mean that every interval in the scale is of the form ''jg'' + ''kp'' where ''g'' is a generator, ''p'' is the period, and ''j, k'' ∈ '''Z''', and that either ''g'' or ''−g'' occurs on every note. We claim that any interval class not ''p''-equivalent to 0 has ''exactly'' 2 sizes in any scale satisfying the antecedent.
