* Capital italicized Latin letters may denote scales written cumulatively: i.e. with ''S''(0) = '''0''' and ''S''(''i'' + ''p'') = '''E''' + ''S''(''i'') (''p'' = length, '''E''' = equave) for every ''i''. | |||

* Lowercase italicized Latin letters may denote (rotational equivalence classes of) scales written as steps, or abstract scale [[word]]s.

* Bolded variables denote interval sizes (especially letters of scale words) and elements of lattices. This is optional, but may be used for visual clarity, particularly in pages with more mathematical notation. '''0''' is the unison. | * Bolded variables denote interval sizes (especially letters of scale words) and elements of lattices.
