Consider right-hand diasem, fixing a choice of positive step sizes. There exists a way of superimposing a left-hand diasem mode on the right hand diasem so that the right-hand diasem and the left-hand diasem overlap in 8 notes, yielding a scale of 10 notes, possibly after changing the mode of right-hand diasem. For example, superimposing LMLSLMLSL (RH Aeolian) and LMLSLMLLS (LH Dark Aeolian) gives LMLSLMLS(L-S)S (in fifth-based notation on C: C D Ebv Fv F G Abv Bbv Bb Cv C, where v denotes lowering by s). Note that the union is achiral | Consider right-hand diasem, fixing a choice of positive step sizes.
