This template is used to visualize the step pattern of a scale given as a sequence of whole-number step sizes.

Usage

Step patterns are entered as shown below. The first parameter should contain the step pattern, with step sizes separated by spaces.

{{Step vis|5 5 5 3 5 5 3}}

Script error: The function "step_vis_frame" does not exist.

{{Step vis|1=5 5 5 3 5 5 3}}

Script error: The function "step_vis_frame" does not exist.

Step patterns are drawn using the Unicode box-drawing symbols ├ (U+251C), ┤ (U+2524), ─ (U+2500), and ┼ (U+253C).

Regarding step sizes of 0

Step sizes of 0 are depicted using the symbol ╫ (U+256B), ╢ (U+2562), or ╟ (U+255F), depending on the location.

{{Step vis|5 5 5 0 5 5 0}}

Script error: The function "step_vis_frame" does not exist.

Scales with consecutive size-0 steps may not display properly.

{{Step vis|0 0 5 5 5 0 0 5 5 0 0}}

Script error: The function "step_vis_frame" does not exist.
