* Capital italicized Latin letters may denote scales written cumulatively: i.e. with ''S''(0) = '''0''' and ''S''(''i'' + ''p'') = '''E''' + ''S''(''i'') (''p'' = length, '''E''' = equave) for every ''i''.

* Lowercase italicized Latin letters may denote (rotational equivalence classes of) scales written as steps, or abstract scale [[word]]s. For example:
