=== 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 this can be changed to ordinal notation as shown below.
<pre>{{MOS degrees|Scale Signature=2L 5s|UDP=1,5|Notation=CDEFGAB;#;b|Degree Notation=ordinal}}</pre>
{{MOS degrees|Scale Signature=2L 5s|UDP=1,5|Notation=CDEFGAB;#;b|Degree Notation=ordinal}}
=== Changing the mos prefix ===
=== Changing the mos prefix ===
It may be beneficial to change the prefix in cases where more than one nondiatonic mos is being discussed. The default is "mos", but this can be changed as shown below, using the previous section's example. (Do not add a hyphen to the end of the prefix, as the template will do that automatically.)

Typing in "NONE" for the prefix will not show any prefixes, for both ordinal names and TAMNAMS-named scale degrees.
