In combinatorics, this operation is called a [[wikipedia:Sumset|sumset]].

Subtlety: The cross-set of two ''chords'' is properly an unreduced chord, the sumset of two finite subsets of the number line <math>\mathbb{R},</math> whereas the cross-set of two ''scales'' with the same equave is properly the sumset of two finite subsets of the circle whose circumference is the equave, <math>\mathbb{R}/(\text{equave})\mathbb{Z}.</math> While you can of course take a cross-set of scales with incommensurable equaves, that requires thinking of the scales as infinite albeit periodically repeating subsets of <math>\mathbb{R}.</math>
