If we work from A/440:
Sawtooth
Square
I'm not interested in a Pulse waveform as I'd imagine the pulse width may vary the complexities of the overtones?
So just those 2.
Also, I have been looking around and can't really find anything other than mathematical sums which I don't really want to be looking at. Simple mathematics I can cope with, laymens terms basically.

Am I right in thinking with an A/440hz sawtooth, the next harmonic would be 220hz above and half the amplitude? Ad infinitum? If so, how does this translate to say other notes, ie: a formula. Say my lowest note was E1 for example?
Also, just to complicate matters more, is there any relationship between any diatonic scale and the harmonic series of a sawtooth waveform? For example, say I created a sine wave for each of the harmonics in a sawtooth, would the frequencies of these start to go outside of 12tet?
Obviously I don't wish to create an infinite amount of sines but enough to give me an amount of playable frequencies.
So a formula for saw's and squares would be cool.
Thanks.
