This is a proposed, work-in-progress style guide for mos pages. It's highly recommended to use any templates that are mentioned, as they provide a standardized means of presenting information that is common with virtually all mosses.

{{Infobox MOS|Tuning=5L 2s|debug=1}}This is a proposed, work-in-progress style guide for mos pages. It's highly recommended to use any templates that are mentioned, as they provide a standardized means of presenting information that is common with virtually all mosses.

As this guide can't account for every possible use case, use your best judgment to remove unnecessary sections or to add additional sections deemed necessary.

==Lead section==

==''Lead section'' (precedes the first section)==

~~The~~ lead section should, at the minimum, consist of the [[Template:Infobox MOS|mos infobox]] and the [[Template:MOS intro|mos intro]].

<pre>{{Infobox MOS}}

{{MOS intro}}</pre>

Apart from other information (such as hatnotes), the lead section should, at the minimum, consist of the [[Template:Infobox MOS|mos infobox]] and the [[Template:MOS intro|mos intro]]. The mos intro is as follows:

Other important info can include the following:

* Whether the mos can be thought of a warping of another, more familiar mos or edo. Examples:

** 4L 3s can be seen as a warped diatonic scale (5L 2s), where one large step is replaced with a small step.

**4L 3s can be seen as a warped diatonic scale (5L 2s), where one large step is replaced with a small step.

** 5L 1s can be seen as the equal-tempered whole-tone scale (6edo) but with one step that is larger than the others.

**5L 1s can be seen as the equal-tempered whole-tone scale (6edo) but with one step that is larger than the others.

* Usage, discovery, and noteworthy temperaments the mos corresponds to.

*Usage, discovery, and noteworthy temperaments the mos corresponds to.

* Under what conditions near-mos forms are ~~proper~~.

*Under what conditions is the mos proper. This is only recommended for mosses with notable near-mos forms, as this information is included in the intro already.

== Name(s)==

Any names for the mos, as proposed by or named by theorists/composers, and prescribed under TAMNAMS if applicable, are described here.

== Intervals and scale degrees==

The use of TAMNAMS is advised for describing the names of its intervals and scale degrees. The mos intervals template gives ranges for each of the intervals present in the mos.<pre>

</pre>{{MOS intervals|Scale Signature=5L 2s}}

==Theory==

Subsections include:

* Low harmonic entropy scales

* Temperament interpretations

==Tuning ranges==

== Scales ==

==Scale tree==

==Music==

== See also==

==External links==

==Mos pages with plenty of content==

Especially for mos pages that are under-explored, it may not be necessary to add all the sections previously described. For such mosses, the following sections are recommended:

# '''Name''' - Add if needed.

# '''Modes'''

# '''Tuning spectrum''' - Add if there are temperament interpretations worth listing, or if the main content ''is'' the tuning spectrum.
