Certain [[generator-offset property|generator-offset]] scales are examples. For example, [[diasem]] is AGS(8/7, 7/6) or AGS(7/6, 8/7) depending on [[chirality]]. The trivial case AGS(x) is stacking a single generator x to make a rank-2 scale, such as a [[MOS scale]].

When all generators xi in the AGS recipe AGS(x1, ..., xr) [[subtend]] the same number of steps (not depending on ''i''), we call the resulting scale ''well-formed AGS''. This automatically implies that the leftover interval after stacking ~~''n''~~ − 1 of the generators in the recipe (analogous to the imperfect generator in [[MOS]] scales) also subtends this number of steps. In such a situation, we call the (logarithmic) average of the generators the ''guide generator''. The choice of "well-formed" is informed by the well-formed property of single-period MOS scales: the property that each occurrence of the generator subtends the same number of steps.

When all generators xi in the AGS recipe AGS(x1, ..., xr) [[subtend]] the same number of steps (not depending on ''i''), we call the resulting scale ''well-formed AGS''. This automatically implies that the leftover interval after stacking len(s) − 1 of the generators in the recipe (analogous to the imperfect generator in [[MOS]] scales) also subtends this number of steps. In such a situation, we call the (logarithmic) average of the generators the ''guide generator''. The choice of "well-formed" is informed by the well-formed property of single-period MOS scales: the property that each occurrence of the generator subtends the same number of steps.

To exclude the case when the generator is a 1-step or a (len(s) − 1)-step, the modifier ''non-step'' can be used.
