Talk:Gallery of MOS rhythms: Difference between revisions

Do these tables not apply to all kind of MOS patterns, including both scales and rhythms and possibly more? I feel like branding this page as a gallery of MOS rhythms hides the important fact that MOS patterns are abstract and can be applied to different musical elements. MOS patterns have general properties which are shared by both MOS scales and MOS rhythms, although these also have specific properties derived from the differences between pitch and rhythm. It seems like a good occasion to display the general properties here. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 02:56, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

== General vocabulary for MOS patterns ==

How are the indivisible units of a pattern called? Is there a word that could generally encompass the equal divisions of an octave, the equal spacing of pulses within a period of time, or anything else? --[[User:Contribution|Contribution]] ([[User talk:Contribution|talk]]) 09:58, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

: I believe "unit" works as a general term for "pulse" (rhythms) and "step" (scales). It's coherent with math vocabulary and it's also easily comprehensible by most people. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 15:38, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
