To show only the minor intervals, consider that the UDP here is 5<nowiki>|</nowiki>1, meaning that the ascending chain starts with 5 generators and the descending chain starts with 1 generator. Going up one more generator produces the augmented 4th, so it's not necessary to extend the ascending chain. Going down 4 more generators produces all of the minor intervals and one more after that produces the diminished 5th, so the descending chain should be extended further by 4.

This template supports entering separate values for the ascending and descending extend values; the first ~~will be~~ for the ascending chain and the second for the descending chain, as shown below.

=== Changing the degree notation ===

There are currently two ways of naming scale degrees supported by this template: using TAMNAMS numbering (which starts at 0 for the unison) and ordinal numbering (which starts at the 1st for the unison). The default is TAMNAMS degree notation, but ~~in cases where diatonic ordinal categories make sense for non-diatonic mosses,~~ this can be changed to ordinal notation as shown below.
