A scale is (''k''-)'''interleaved''' if it is made of ''k'' > 1 copies (called ''strands'') of an ''n''-note [[periodic scale]] ''s'', and ''any two copies'' of ''s'' are interleaved so that any note of the first copy falls strictly between two notes of the other copy. The set of offsets that separate the strands from a fixed strand is a chord called the ''polyoffset'', which is determined up to inversion and [[equave]]-equivalence. An interleaved scale is thus a [[cross-set]] with a little additional structure. One can '''interleave~~''' or '''interleaved~~''' a scale ''s'' with a certain polyoffset Δ (or: "Δ ''interleaves'' ''s''" or "''s'' is ''interleavable'' with Δ") if ''s'' is the strand scale of an interleaved scale with polyoffset Δ. Such a scale is denoted Interleaved(''s''; Δ). The concept of interleaved scales is a generalization of [[bipentatonic scale]]s and (even-length) [[generator-offset]] scales.
