Zero-indexed interval and degrees can be used for arbitrary scales. However, instead of using the terms ''k-mosstep'' and ''k-mosdegree'', the terms ''k-scalestep'' and ''k-scaledegree'' are used. As with octave-equivalent mosses, these terms can be further shortened to ''k-step'' and ''k-degree'', if context allows.
