Note that often the central spectrum will be sufficient for exploring a mos pattern-period combination, and the extended spectrum is intended more for (literally) edge cases where it may be useful. Often if a temperament interpretation doesn't seem to show up for a mos  pattern-period combination, it just means the temperament needs a more complex mos pattern to narrow down the generator range. An example of this phenomena is the highly complex mos pattern of [[12L 17s|12L 17s]] represents near-Pythagorean tunings well due to having a generator of a fourth or a fifth bounded between those of [[12edo]] and those of [[29edo]], which are roughly equally off but in opposite directions, and many important near-Pythagorean systems show up in just the ratios of the central spectrum alone.

#### If {{nowrap|''x'' &gt; ''y''}}, every instance of an L in ''prescale'' is replaced with one L and ''u'' s's, and every s replaced with one L and ''v'' s's. This produces the final scale in its brightest mode.

Using 3L&nbsp;4s as an example, this is LsLsLss (brightest) and ssLsLsL (darkest). To find the large sizes of each ''k''-mosstep, consider the first ''k'' mossteps that make up the mos pattern for the brightest mode. Repeat this process with the mos pattern for the darkest mode to find each ''k''-mosstep's small size. To make these sizes more clear, we can denote the mos intervals as a sum of large and small steps {{nowrap|''i''L + ''j''s}}, where ''i'' and ''j'' are the number of L's and s's in the interval's step pattern; this is to say that the order of L's and s's doesn't matter, rather the amount of each step size. The large and small sizes should differ by replacing one L in the large size with an s.

This temperament is supported by {{Optimal ET sequence| 5, 6, 11, 12, 16, 17, 22, 23, 27, 28 and 33 }} equal divisions, many of which correspond to both simple tunings ({{nowrap|L:s {{=}} 2:1}}, 3:1, 3:2, etc) and degenerate tunings ({{nowrap|L:s {{=}} 1:1}} or 1:0) for 5L&nbsp;1s. Non-patent val tunings include {{nowrap|5 + 5 {{=}} 10e|5 + 10e + 12 {{=}} 21be|and 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 6 {{=}} 26qe}}; these are mentioned here for demonstrating virtual completeness of the tuning range, as is 33edo to show 11edo's strength as a tuning.
