There are many possible Mohajira MOS and MODMOS, this page contains an overview of mostly 7 note scales that are adjacent the [[diatonic]] scale in [[meantone]].

The scales are organized based on evoking slightly different colors and categorized by different levels of alteration from a diatonic scale. A MOS of Mohajira[10] can be used in order to improvise on all the common MODMOS of Mohajira.

In what follows, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 refer to the major mode of the diatonic scale.

~~Because there are too many possible Mohajira MOS and MODMOS, Kentaku has organized a way to think of the progression of accidentals in the modes of Mohajira.~~

== MOS Neutral Diatonic scale ==

The scales are organized based on evoking slightly different colors and categorized by different levels of alteration from a meantone scale. A MOS of Mohajira[10] can be used in order to improvise on all the common MODMOS of Mohajira.

~~Here are the scales with 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 being the major scale.~~
