| == Graham Breed's naming scheme ==
| |
| Graham Breed has proposed the following scheme.
| |
|
| |
| === Names for sub-MOS ===
| |
|
| |
| 1L 1s Trivial MOS
| |
|
| |
| 1L 2s Happy triad
| |
|
| |
| 2L 1s Grumpy triad
| |
|
| |
| 1L 3s Happy tetrad
| |
|
| |
| [[2L_2s|2L 2s]] bi-equal tetrad
| |
|
| |
| 3L 1s Grumpy <span style="line-height: 1.5;">tetrad</span>
| |
|
| |
| ===Names for MOS with number of elements from 5 to 10, as proposed by Graham Breed===
| |
| The logic behind new names is as follows:
| |
|
| |
| Happy and Grumpy are remnants of the [[DwarfNamingScheme|dwarf scheme]]. A good proportion of the shapes fit this pattern, so it's worth having a word for it.
| |
|
| |
| Biggie is a contraction of "bi-grumpy". Rice is named after Rice Kagona.
| |
|
| |
| Bicycle is a contraction of "bi-classical". This family is like the usual fifth-generated one, but half the size.
| |
|
| |
| Mosh is a contraction of "mohajiraish". Mish is related to mosh.
| |
|
| |
| Father is a temperament name. I think the etymology is a pun on "fourths/thirds" and as such names a shape.
| |
|
| |
| Bug is another temperament name, from the draft of the first part of Paul's forthcoming magnum opus. If it's too specific to apply to this family, I suggest "bogey" instead.
| |
|
| |
| "Bi-equal" means the scale is made from two EDOs. There may be a better name for these. They become more important whan you look at complicated temperaments.
| |
|
| |
| I'm using "fair" and "unfair" to distinguish the large from the small.
| |
|
| |
| All the names uniquely specify a shape, and if the number of notes doesn't need to be part of the name it isn't. That doesn't mean you'd leave them this terse in practice.

Several schemes for naming moment-of-symmetry scales (MOS scales) have been proposed by various people. Although the simplest way to refer to MOS scales is by the number of large and small steps it has (such as 5L 2s), unique names for these scales have been proposed. See also the Catalog of MOS for a listing of MOS in the more usual Ls scheme. See also the pergens page.
For referring to intervals in an unspecified MOS, generic names such as "small fifth" or "large second" are typically used; these can be used to unambiguously refer to an interval in any MOS. Some naming systems give more specific names to MOS intervals.
The various schemes are listed here:
- TAMNAMS, a naming scheme for naming octave-equivalent MOS scales (up to 10 notes); this scheme also names the intervals and scale degrees of a MOS scale, much like those of 5L 2s. This is currently the most comprehensive naming system.
- Graham Breed's MOS naming scheme.
- Dwarf Naming Scheme, a frivolous naming scheme that has influenced some of the names in Graham Breed's naming scheme.
