For guidance on how to expand or improve existing pages, this page's sections provide on what to include, and how to name each section. Sections should be added ''as needed''. Sections in ''italics'' do not denote actual sections, but rather items to add in addition to existing sections or outside of any section. This page uses 5L 2s as its running example.

Sections that would be otherwise too short, such as temperament-related information, can be added in the lead section instead.

What the mos is referred to may also be included here. Names that see common use should be added here; proposed names are assumed to be idiosyncratic until proven otherwise.


Subsections for this follow the format for TAMNAMS, in which the following are described in their own subsections:

== Name ==
Any names for the mos, as commonly used by the broader community, proposed by or given by theorists/composers, and prescribed under TAMNAMS if applicable, are described here.
The mos intro module can also display names, with applicable TAMNAMS names displayed automatically. Other names can be passed into this module, but it's recommended to pass in commonly used names.

The scale tree can be provided using the corresponding template. A handmade table can also be used if the template is found to be too limiting.
The tuning spectrum template (or scale tree) can be provided using the corresponding template. A handmade table can also be used if the template is found too limiting, such as by substituting the template.
