Update: notation should be separate from the rest of the mos page to avoid confusion or conflict over which notation scheme to use (EG, diamond-mos, ups-and-downs, etc)

#'''Name(s)''' - What is the mos called? TAMNAMS is the predominant naming scheme, but some names may come from earlier naming systems and other theorists' recommendations.

#'''Notation''' or '''Intervals''' - What are the interval names for the mos? TAMNAMS interval and scale degree names should be used. Note names should not be included in the main page, as there are different ways, temperament-specific and temperament-agnostic, of notating such. (This should instead be fulfilled using a subpage.)

#'''Notation''' - To reduce confusion over how to name pitch classes, this section should lead to a subpage describing different notation schemes for the mos. See [[User:Ganaram inukshuk/MOS page style guide#Notation subpage]].
#'''Theory''' - Is there any theory behind this mos? This can include RTT-related content and non-RTT content. In terms of RTT-related content, this can include:

== Notation subpage ==
The following sections are recommended for a mos's notation subpage.
# Notations based on standard notation - this includes ups-and-downs notation.
# Diamond-mos notation
Notation options are not limited to these two, and other notation schemes can be added in addition to these.
