-The simplest and most straightforward way to refer to [[MOS scale]]s is by using the format #L#s, directly specifying the number of large steps (#L) and the number of small steps (#s). However, other naming schemes have also been proposed. See also the [[Catalog of MOS]] for a listing of MOS in the more usual Ls scheme. See also the [[pergen]]s page.
+#REDIRECT [[Scale naming#MOS scales]]
-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.

-== Graham Breed's naming scheme ==
-Graham Breed has proposed the following scheme.
-=== Names for sub-MOS ===
-L 1s Trivial MOS
-L 2s Happy triad
-L 1s Grumpy triad
-L 3s Happy tetrad
-[[2L_2s|2L 2s]] bi-equal tetrad
-L 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.
