Notation: Added intervals section before notation section; added a (blank) theory section, undecided where it should go

m Merged interval names and note names into one section called "standing assumptions", as that's commonly done

[[TAMNAMS]] suggests the name '''smitonic''' ''smy-TON-ik'' /smaɪˈtɒnɪk/ for this scale. The name is derived from 'sharp minor third', since the central range for the dark generator (320¢ to 333.3¢) is significantly sharp of [[6/5]] (just minor 3rd, 315.6¢).

=== Interval names ===
Names for intervals and scale degrees are based on [[TAMNAMS]], where names for mossteps and mosdegrees start at 0 for the unison. Ordinal names, such as mos-1st for the unison, are discouraged for non-diatonic MOS scales.

=== Note names ===
Note names for this article are based on [[Diamond-mos notation|diamond-MOS notation]], where the naturals JKLMNOP are applied to the step pattern LsLsLsL and the accidentals & (pronounced "am" or "amp") and @ (pronounced "at") are used to represent sharps and flats respectively. Thus, the basic gamut for 4L 3s is the following:
