The Farey hull of ''r'' non-collinear tunings of a rank ''r'' scale is an (''r'' − 1)-dimensional simplex with vertices the ''r'' starting values. Each face (of dimension ''r'' − 1) of this simplex is the Farey hull of a choice of ''r'' − 1 of the starting tunings.

In particular, for the set of all possible tunings of a scale structure (with step sizes X1 ≥ X2 ≥ ... ≥ Xr), each hyperface corresponds to a degenerate version of the scale with ''r'' − 1 step sizes with Xi = Xi+1, corresponding to omitting the vertex (degenerate tuning) with step ratio X1:... :Xi:Xi+1:...:Xr = 1:...:1:0:...:0.
