A rank-3 dipentatonic scale with step sizes ''5x ay (5-a)z'' has the form ''xYxYxYxYxY'' where the ''Y'''s are the ''y'' and ''z'' arranged in the [[MOS]] pattern ay (5-a)z. The interlocking pentatonics are copies of the mos ''aL (5-a)s'' if ''y > z'' and ''(5-a)L as'' if ''z > y''. The following is a complete list of such abstract patterns, assuming octave equivalence:

Every other note of a just dipentatonic scale gives a Pythagorean pentatonic. Dipentatonic scales that are also [[SN scales|3-SN scales]] can be constructed by placing the same interval above or below each step of a pentatonic scale. This interval defines the scale, and the logic behind the listing below.
