| '''TAMNAMS''' (read "tame names"; from '''''T'''emperament-'''A'''gnostic '''M'''OS '''NAM'''ing '''S'''ystem''), devised by [[Inthar lus Lăneaf|Inthar]] and others on the XA Discord, is an attempt at a set of temperament-agnostic names for octave-equivalent MOS scales of sizes between 6 and 10. Some of these come from temperament-agnostic MOS names coined by [[Igliashon Jones]] and others, as well as some of the names (such as "mosh") from [[Graham Breed]]'s names below. Some are named by taking an arbitrary temperament that generates the scale (preferably in the MOS's [[proper]] range) and suffixing ''-oid''. These names have been coined so that MOSes can be discussed more independently of RTT temperaments (while drawing on an established RTT tradition in the xen community which may help make the names more meaningful to more people).
| | :{{main|TAMNAMS}} |
| | |
| 1L ns names are intentionally unspecific because the generator can be anywhere from the octave to to 1\(n+1) and can better be viewed as subsets of larger MOSes, for example [[1L 6s]] as a subset of [[7L 1s]].
| |
| | |
| TAMNAMS uses the following modifiers to denote different interval sizes within a MOS interval class:
| |
| * For multiples of the period plus or minus 0 or 1 generators: ''perfect''. (Diatonic examples: perfect mos4th (Pmos4th), perfect mos5th (Pmos5th), perfect mos8th (Pmos8th), perfect mos12th (Pmos12th), etc.)
| |
| * For generic interval classes with 2 specific sizes of intervals therein (which are therefore separated by a chroma of c = L - s), ''major'' and ''minor'' are used to distinguish the larger (L) and smaller (s) intervals. Note that the generator, its period-equivalents, and the generator's period-complement and its period-equivalents are the only intervals excluded from this rule due to their inclusion in the previous rule. Diatonic examples: major mos2nd (abbreviated Lmos2nd), minor mos3rd (abbreviated smos3rd), major mos3rd (Lmos3rd), etc.)
| |
| * If you subtract a chroma from a perfect (Pmos) or minor (smos) interval, it becomes ''diminished'' (d; dmos). If you subtract two chromas instead, it becomes ''doubly diminished'' (dd; ddmos). (Diatonic examples: diminished mos3rd (dmos3rd), diminished mos4th (dmos4th), doubly diminished mos5th (ddmos5th), etc.)
| |
| * If you add a chroma to a perfect (Pmos) or major (Lmos) interval, it becomes ''augmented'' (A; Amos). If you add two chromas instead, it becomes ''doubly augmented'' (AA; AAmos). (Diatonic examples: augmented mos2nd (Amos2nd), augmented mos4th (Amos4th), doubly augmented mos5th (AAmos5th).)
| |
| * The pattern continues, ddd for triply diminished and AAA for triply augmented. Note that applying this operation more than 3 times is an unlikely usecase, and a shorthand notaton of d^3 and A^3 or an alternative notation or terminology entirely would likely be preferable in such circumstances, hence repetition of the corresponding letter is a sufficient system.
| |
| | |
| To denote interval classes within the MOS, TAMNAMS uses the generic prefix ''mos-'', or the specific prefixes and abbreviations listed below. Usage example: ''In 31edo's ultrasoft mosh scale, the major mossecond is a neutral third and the major mosthird is a perfect fifth.''
