The term is inspired by Scott Dakota's "guide generators". The idea is that a guide frame scale is a detempered version of a MOS scale which may be 1-period or multiperiod; the MOS scale is the "frame". | The term is inspired by Scott Dakota's "guide generators".

The ''complexity'' of a guide frame is defined as multiplicity * the length of the GGS. | The ''complexity'' of a guide frame is defined as multiplicity * the length of the GGS. | ||
If the scale can be viewed as a guide frame in multiple ways, the complexity of such a scale is defined as the smallest of the complexities. One important caveat is that the simplest guide frame may not agree with the guide frame given by the [[MOS substitution]] scale structure. | If the scale can be viewed as a guide frame in multiple ways, the complexity of such a scale is defined as the smallest of the complexities.
