The typical use of this template is for describing a mos's gamut, the set of named notes. This produces a gamut using the step ratio 2/1 with nominals (notes without accidentals) assigned to the middle mode. The middle mode has a UDP of n|n, but if there is an even number of modes and there are two "middle" modes, then the brighter of the two is used. | The typical use of this template is for describing a mos's gamut, the set of named notes.

An example of using a different step ratio is shown below. Accidentals (or notes with accidentals) are only added for any scale degrees that lie between nominals, and the amount will depend on the step ratio. | An example of using a different step ratio is shown below.

Equivalent pitch classes are currently limited to pitches that fall at the exact midpoint of two other pitches, such as C# and Db being equivalent in standard notation, or C and B# being equivalent. This is to ensure note names have as few accidentals as possible. | Equivalent pitch classes are currently limited to pitches that fall at the exact midpoint of two other pitches, such as C# and Db being equivalent in standard notation, or C and B# being equivalent.
