The diatonic scale can be generated by iterating a) twice, introducing first the octave, then the perfect fifth, and then iterating b) 3 times, replacing '''a''' with '''sa''' | The diatonic scale can be generated by iterating a) twice, introducing first the octave, then the perfect fifth, and then iterating b) 3 times, replacing '''a''' with '''sa''' for every occurrence of any step '''a''' such that '''a''' > '''s''' at the current stage ('''s''' is the current smallest step). It has step signature 5L 2s, and in the symmetric mode, it has step arrangement LsLLLsL. No other arrangement of 5 large and 2 small step sizes results in a SN scale. | ||
