Linear step scale

A linear step scale^{[idiosyncratic term]} is a possible generalization of equal temperaments other than MOS scales. The size of the step after a note increases linearly in the form ax+b where x is the index of the note (starting from 0). For example, a 3-tone octave-repeating scale with the step size determined as 10x+285 in cents would have the step sizes between intervals as 285-295-305-335 cents and the intervals as 285-580-885-1200 cents.

The term "linear step scale" was proposed by CompactStar.
