A '''diregular scale''' is a type of [[ternary scale]] with an even number of notes. A diregular scale consists of two identical generator chains, where all generators are identical and subtend the same [[interval class|step class]]. The two chains are offset by an interval that subtends ''k'' steps in a 2''k''-note diregular scale. Another characterization of diregular scales is that it is a ternary one-to-one detempering of a 2-period MOS word M(X, z) which has the form w(x, y, z)w(y, x, z) for some ternary word w and some permutation x, y, z of L, m, s where x and y always alternate in the scale. One diregular scale is the achiral variant of [[diachrome]]. | A '''diregular scale''' is a type of [[ternary scale]] with an even number of notes.

In terms of [[guide frame]]s and interleaved scales, in diregular scales the [[interleaved scale|interleaving offset]] is generated by the guided generator sequence GS(g), and the 2-note strand scale [0, len(scale)/2-step] is the offset for the guide frame. The other type of generator-offset scale is represented by scales including bipentatonic scales (such as [[blackdye]]), where the strand is generated by GS(g) and the interleaving offset is the offset. | In terms of [[guide frame]]s and interleaved scales, in diregular scales the [[interleaved scale|interleaving offset]] is generated by the guided generator sequence GS(g), and the 2-note strand scale [0, len(scale)/2-step] is the offset for the guide frame.
