[[Maximum variety]] 3 (MV3) scales are a generalization of MOS scales (the scales of MV2) into rank-3. An important subset are strict-variety 3 (SV3) scales, which are a generalisation of strict MOS scales into rank-3, where-in every interval class has ''exactly'' three sizes. In academic literature these scales are instead described as '''trivalent'''.

'''Conjecture:''' For all odd-cardinality SV3 scales apart from the scales '''''abacaba''''', and its repetitions '''''abacabaabacaba''''' etc., at least two of the three steps must occur the same number of times.
