+:''This article assumes [[TAMNAMS]] for naming step ratios, mossteps, and mosdegrees.''
-Intervals are identical to that of standard notation. As such, the usual [[Interval quality|interval qualities]] of major/minor and augmented/perfect/diminished apply here.
+Names for this scale's intervals (mossteps) and scale degrees (mosdegrees) are based on the number of large and small steps from the root, starting at 0 (the 0-mosstep and 0-mosdegree) for the unison.

+Except for the unison and octave, all [[Interval class|interval classes]] have two [[Interval variety|varieties]] or sizes, denoted using the terms ''major'' and ''minor'' for the large and small sizes, respectively. The exception to this rule are the generators, which use the terms ''augmented'', ''perfect'', and ''diminished'' instead.

+A 7-note scale using these intervals will typically use scale degrees that represents one size from each interval class, with the true MOS upholding the step pattern of LLLsLLs, or some rotation thereof. MODMOS scales may be formed this way without upholding the step pattern, thereby creating a non-MOS pattern such as LLLLsLs, or may include alterations that exceed the two varieties typical of a MOS scale.
