{{Idiosyncratic terms|Many of the mos names described on this page are proposals and are not in common use.}}
This is a systematic extension for the [[TAMNAMS]] MOS scale naming system based on relationships of a named mos (parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, etc). It's intended for a user interface so that every MOS pattern has a memorable name. There's also a more [[User:Frostburn/TAMNAMS_Extension|euphonic version]] at least for [[User:Frostburn]]'s taste.

== Naming mos descendants ==
== Naming mos descendants ==
To name mosses that have more than 10 notes, names are based on how they're related to a parent mos (whether it's a child, grandchild, etc) and what step ratio produces that descendant, added as a prefix to the name. This section is currently work-in-progress and currently describes two systems devised by [[User:Frostburn/TAMNAMS Extension|Frostburn]] and [[User:Ganaram inukshuk/TAMNAMS Extension|Ganaram inukshuk]].

Latest revision as of 19:17, 24 May 2026

This article or section contains multiple idiosyncratic terms. Such terms are used by only a few people and are not regularly used within the community.

Terms: Many of the mos names described on this page are proposals and are not in common use.

This is a systematic extension for the TAMNAMS MOS scale naming system based on relationships of a named mos (parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, etc). It's intended for a user interface so that every MOS pattern has a memorable name. There's also a more euphonic version at least for User:Frostburn's taste.

Naming mos descendants

To name mosses that have more than 10 notes, names are based on how they're related to a parent mos (whether it's a child, grandchild, etc) and what step ratio produces that descendant, added as a prefix to the name. This section is currently work-in-progress and currently describes two systems devised by Frostburn and Ganaram inukshuk.

Base names
Child (1st descendant) Grandchild (2nd descendant) Great-grandchild (3rd descendant) kth descendant Other notes
Frostburn's proposal (prefix)-chro (parent's name) (prefix)-enhar (grandparent's name) (prefix)-(great-grandparent's name)
Ganaram's proposal (prefix)-chromatic (mos-name)
(prefix)-(mos-prefix)chromatic 		(prefix)-enharmonic (mos-name)
(prefix)-(mos-prefix)enharmonic 		(prefix)-subchromatic (mos-name)
(prefix)-(mos-prefix)subchromatic 		kth-descendant (mos-name)
kth-(mos-prefix)descendant 		Prefixes are optional.
Names are work-in-progress.

Other MOS families

Wood scales

Trivial multi-MOS scales of k periods (mosses of the form kL ks) are named k-wood. If k is greater than 5 and no greater than 12, these can be written out as (Greek numeral prefix)wood, as shown in the table below.

MOS Name Prefix Abbrev.
6L 6s hexawood hexwd- hxw
7L 7s heptawood hepwd- hpw
8L 8s octawood octwd- ocw
9L 9s enneawood ennwd- enw
10L 10s decawood decwd- dkw
11L 11s hendecawood hedwd- hdw
12L 12s dodecawood dodwd- ddw
13L 13s 13-wood 13wd- 13w
14L 14s 14-wood 14wd- 14w
