{{dochead}}
This template creates a table of a [[MOS scale]]'s intervals and their relative qualities.
 
=== Parameters ===
The following parameters are supported:
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"

! Parameter !! Required? !! Description

|-
| <pre>Scale Signature</pre> || Yes (optional on mos pages) || The mos's scale signature in the form "xL ys", or for non-octave mosses, <nowiki>"xL ys<p/q>"</nowiki>, "xL ys⟨p/q⟩", or "xL ys (p/q-equivalent)". If left blank and used on a mos page, then the page's title will be used.
| <pre>Scale Signature</pre> || Yes (optional on mos pages) || The mos's scale signature in the form "xL ys", or for non-octave mosses, <nowiki>"xL ys<p/q>"</nowiki>, "xL ys⟨p/q⟩", or "xL ys (p/q-equivalent)". If left blank and used on a mos page, then the page's title will be used.
|-
|-
| <pre>Interval Notation</pre> || No (optional) || The scheme for naming intervals. Options include TAMNAMS mosstep naming and ordinal naming (EG, the unison is either called the 0-mosstep or 1st).
| <pre>MOS Prefix</pre> || No (optional) || The prefix for the mos, if it has one. The scale's TAMNAMS prefix will be used if left blank; otherwise, it will default to "mos".
|-
|-
| <pre>MOS Prefix</pre>|| No (optional) || The TAMNAMS prefix for the mos, if it has one. The default is "mos".
| <pre>MOS Abbrev</pre> || No (optional) || The abbreviation for the mos, if it has one. The scale's TAMNAMS abbreviation will be used if left blank; otherwise, it will default to "m".
|-
| <pre>Interval Notation</pre> || Deprecated || The scheme for naming intervals. Options include TAMNAMS mosstep naming and ordinal naming (EG, the unison is either called the 0-mosstep or 1st).

The typical use of this template is for showing a mos's interval varieties and their qualities.

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


<pre>{{MOS intervals|Scale Signature=5L 2s}}</pre>
<pre>{{MOS intervals|Scale Signature=5L 2s}}</pre>
{{MOS intervals|Scale Signature=5L 2s}}
{{MOS intervals|Scale Signature=5L 2s}}
=== Changing the mos prefix ===


==== Changing the mos prefix and abbreviation ====
By default, the mos prefix is "mos". The prefix for the mos can be changed as shown below.
By default, the mos prefix is "mos". The prefix for the mos can be changed as shown below.
<pre>{{MOS intervals|Scale Signature=2L 5s|MOS Prefix=pel}}</pre>
<pre>{{MOS intervals|Scale Signature=2L 5s|MOS Prefix=pel|MOS Abbrev=pel}}</pre>
{{MOS intervals|Scale Signature=2L 5s|MOS Prefix=pel}}
{{MOS intervals|Scale Signature=2L 5s|MOS Prefix=pel|MOS Abbrev=pel}}


=== Changing the degree notation ===
=== See also ===
By default, TAMNAMS mosstep naming is used, where the unison is the 0-mosstep. To change this to ordinal notation, where the unison is the 1st, type in "ordinal" or "ordinals" for the parameter Interval Notation as shown below. Typing in anything else will use TAMNAMS notation.
* [[Template:MOS degrees]] – The template that shows a MOS's cent values for a step ratio.
<pre>{{MOS intervals|Scale Signature=2L 5s|MOS Prefix=pel|Interval Notation=ordinal}}</pre>
* [[Template:MOS interval HE]] – A similar template for displaying each interval's [[harmonic entropy]].
