<span class="commentBody">So I posted to XA: "Ok, thinking it over, A and d are interesting choices to describe the additional steps, since they're so general.

Meanwhile, "A" is the large step plus one chroma, or L+c. Described in terms of L and s, "A" is 2L-s. This allows us to quickly compute c, A, and d quickly, given L and s. As one example, Orwell[9] in 53edo has L=7 and s=5. So c=L-s=7-5=2; d=2s-L=2(5)-7=3; and A=2L-s=2(7)-5=9. Sure enough, a MODMOS of Orwell[9] with all four of these steps can be easily generated. Start with 7 5 7 5 7 5 7 5 5 and shift the second tone up by one chroma (which we computed to be 2\53), producing 9 3 7 5 7 5 7 5 5, which generalizes to AdLsLsLss! (Note that in 53edo Orwell[9] 2s=10 and A=9, not equal; while in 22edo's version of Orwell[9] 2s=4 and A=4, a potential 22edo Orwell pun.)</span><span class="commentBody"> ...
