> with scale steps 1-2-3 (pitch class set 4-13),
> and I hit the jackpot and got 12 structurally
> distinct superscales with the following characteristics:
> 
> 
> 1. one symmetrical pentachord
> 
> 2. three asymmetrical hexachords and three
> symmetrical hexachords
> 
> 3. one asymmetrical septachord
> 
> 4. four symmetrical octachords
> 
> 
> Because this particular tetrachord has 12
> structurally distinct superscales, I will
> designate it as a "hyper-differentiating" (HD)
> nested tetrachord.
> 
> Notice that there are four asymmetrical
> superscales, so that those could be further
> "nested" with their various superscale inversions to
> produce another "generation" of raw scalar
> material.
