Analogously to binary scales including mosses, scales with three step sizes L > M > S, including [[MV3]] scales, can also be defined by their L:M:S ratios. Here TAMNAMS names the L/M ratio and then the M/S ratio as if these were mos step ratios: for example, [[21edo]] [[diasem]] (5L 2M 2s, LMLSLMLSL or its inverse) has a step ratio of L:M:S = 3:2:1, so we name it ''soft-basic diasem''. | Analogously to binary scales including mosses, ternary scales, i.e. those with three step sizes L > M > S, including [[MV3]] scales, can also be defined by their L:M:S ratios.
