Names for intervals and scale degrees are based on | Names for this scale's intervals (mossteps) and scale degrees (mosdegrees) are based on the number of large and small steps from the root, starting at 0 (0-mosstep and 0-mosdegree) for the unison, per TAMNAMS. Ordinal names, such as mos-1st for the unison, are discouraged for non-diatonic MOS scales. | ||
Being a moment-of-symmetry scale, every [[interval class]] of 4L 3s, except for the unison and octave, has two [[Interval variety|varieties]] (or sizes), whose [[Interval quality|relative qualities]] are denoted as major or minor, or augmented, perfect, and diminished for the generators. | Being a moment-of-symmetry scale, every [[interval class]] of 4L 3s, except for the unison and octave, has two [[Interval variety|varieties]] (or sizes), whose [[Interval quality|relative qualities]] are denoted as major or minor, or augmented, perfect, and diminished for the generators. | ||

For this article, note names are based on | For this article, note names are based on 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: | ||
