Chord cubes
A cube scale is a 7-limit scale (we might also consider the 9 odd limit) whose notes
are derived from a cube in the 7-limit lattice of chords.
For odd n, we will call the octave-reduced set of notes deriving from all chords of the form [i, j, k], (1-n)/2
<= i, j, k <= (n-1)/2, Cube[n]. If n is even, we will use Cube[n] to refer to the notes of [i, j, k] with
1-n/2 <= i, j, k < n/2. If n is odd, Cube[n] has (n+1)^3/2 notes to it; if n is even, its growth is more
complicated but still approximately cubic. For odd n, the inversion of the scale gives another scale, centered
around a minor rather than a major tetrad. Here are the first three cube scales:
