| | A scale is '''distributionally even (DE)''' if it has [[Maximum_variety|maximum variety]] 2; that is, each class of interval ("seconds", "thirds", and so on) contains '''no more than''' two specific intervals. |

| In practice, such scales are often referred to as "[[MOSScales|MOS]]" scales, but some consider this usage to be technically incorrect because a MOS as defined by [[Erv Wilson]] was to have **exactly** two specific intervals for each class other than multiples of the octave. When Wilson discovered MOS scales and found numerous examples, DE scales with period a fraction of an octave such as [[pajara]], [[Augmented family|augmented]], [[diminished]], etc. were not among them.</pre></div> | | In practice, such scales are often referred to as "[[MOSScales|MOS]]" scales, but some consider this usage to be technically incorrect because a MOS as defined by [[Erv_Wilson|Erv Wilson]] was to have '''exactly''' two specific intervals for each class other than multiples of the octave.
