The typical use of this template is for showing a table of scale degrees for a specific step ratio.

<pre>{{MOS degrees}}</pre>

A scale signature different from the page's title can be entered as shown.

{{MOS degrees|Scale Signature=5L 2s}}

By default, cent and step values will be calculated for a step ratio of 2:1. A different step ratio can be entered as shown below. Up to 5 step ratios can be entered, written as p/q and with each ratio separated by semicolons.

| MOS Prefix=NONE}}

By default, no notation is displayed unless entered as shown in the example below.

<pre>{{MOS degrees

}}

JI ratios can be added by writing a semicolon-delimited list of entries, where each entry is an abbreviation for a scale degree, followed by a colon, followed by the JI ratio.

}}

Alterations refer to raising scale degrees by a chroma beyond the large and small sizes of a mos. For the number of alterations added, an additional altered degree is shown from raising the large size of a scale degree and lowering the small size of a scale degree (or the perfect size for period, unison, and equaves).

<pre>{{MOS degrees

}}

Setting the number of alterations to any value greater than 1 throws the following error:
