Modes of limited transposition 
 A chromatic scale (one which uses every note, i.e. using all white and black notes of a keyboard) only has one transposition.
Modes of limited transposition 
 This means that a chromatic scale can start on any note: each time it is the same combination of notes.
Modes of limited transposition 
 It can start, for example, on a C, so that the notes are C, D, E, F#, G#, A#, C.  It can start on a C# so that the notes are C#, D#, F, G, A, B, C#.
Modes of limited transposition 
 Transposing this up another semitone, starting on D,  would give D, E, F#, G#, A#, C, D which is exactly the same combination of notes as the first one (the starting note is not important).
Modes of limited transposition 
 Messiaen’s second mode, also called the “octatonic scale”,  rises by alternating semitone, tone, semitone, tone etc.
