A chair scale is a JI or rank-4 scale whose lattice resembles a chair. | A chair scale is a JI or rank-4 scale whose lattice resembles a chair. It is used to refer to any lattice which is shaped like a chair, but formally, the lattice takes the form of a 2x2 cube, with an edge extended along the plane of one of its adjacent faces to another 2 notes, for a total of 10 notes in the scale. | ||

A chair can be identified, up to different modes of the scale, by its lattice subgroup (conventionally 2.3.5.7), the edge which is extended (out of 12), and which plane it is extended along (out of 2). Thus, for a given subgroup or other rank-4 tuning, there are 24 chair scales. | A formal chair can be identified, up to different modes of the scale, by its lattice subgroup (conventionally 2.3.5.7), the edge which is extended (out of 12), and which plane it is extended along (out of 2).
