2. A generator "g" (of any size, for example 700 cents in 12 equal temperament) which is added repeatedly to make a chain of scale steps, starting from the unison or 0 cents scale step, and then reducing to within the period

3. No more than two sizes of scale steps (Large and small, often written "L" and "s")
3. No more than two sizes of scale steps (Large and small, often written "L" and "s")
4. Where //each// number of scale steps, or generic interval, within the scale occurs in no more than two different sizes, and in exactly two if the interval is not a multiple of the period
4. Where //each// number of scale steps, or generic interval, within the scale occurs in no more than two different sizes, and in exactly two if the interval is not a multiple of the period except in such cases as an ET.
5. The unison or starting point of the scale is then allowed to be transferred to any scale degree--all the modes of an MOS are legal.
