We give a thoroughful explanation of the general properties of different, general scales, corresponding to different (all possible) mathematical functions f(x), we mention and analyse many examples. These observations and statements might help us to plan and realize any specific scale we need in the future, or to understand better any interesting or miserable properties of old scales.
