The generator range is 171.4 to 240 cents, placing it near the [[9/8|diatonic major second]], usually representing a major second of some type. The dark (chroma-negative) generator is, however, its fifth complement (480 to 514.3 cents).

There are 3 main ways to notate the diatonic scale. One method uses a simple sesquitave (fifth) repeating notation consisting of 4 naturals (eg. Do Re Mi Fa, Sol La Si Do). Given that 1-5/4-5/3 is fifth-equivalent to a tone cluster of 1-10/9-5/4, it may be more convenient to notate diatonic scales as repeating at the double or triple sesquitave (major ninth or thirteenth), however it does make navigating the [[Generator|genchain]] harder. This way, 5/3 is its own pitch class, distinct from 10/9. Notating this way produces a major ninth which is the Aeolian mode of Napoli[6L 2s] or a major thirteenth which is the Dorian mode of Bijou[9L 3s]. Since there are exactly 8 naturals in double sesquitave notation and 12 in triple sesquitave notation, letters A-H (FGABHCDEF) or dozenal digits (0123456789XE0 or D1234567FGACD with flats written C molle) may be used.
