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.

Discussions about specific tuning ranges, and what JI ratios are approximated, can be given if there is sufficient information. Hatnotes to appropriate temperament pages are also advised.
Tuning ranges include:

*'''Hard-of-basic''' '''tunings''' - Step ratios 4:1 and 5:2, in comparison to 3:1.


==Scale tree==
Sections for smaller ranges can be used instead. Such ranges include:

*'''Parasoft tunings''' - Step ratio tunings between 4:3 to 3:2
*'''Hyposoft tunings''' - Step ratio tunings between 3:2 to 2:1, which can be split even further if needed:
**'''Quasisoft tunings''' - Step ratio tunings between 3:2 to 5:3
**'''Minisoft tunings''' - Step ratio tunings between 5:3 to 2:1
*'''Hypohard tunings''' - Step ratio tunings between 2:1 to 3:1, which can be split even further if needed:

The following order of sections is recommended for important mos pages.
<pre>
{{Scale tree}}
</pre>{{Scale tree|5L 2s}}


#'''Name(s)''' - What is the mos called? TAMNAMS is the predominant naming scheme for octave-repeating mosses, but can include additional names from other theorists.
==Music==
#'''Intervals''' - What are the interval names for the mos? TAMNAMS interval and scale degree names should be used.
Links to music can be added here.
#'''Notation''' - To reduce confusion over note names, this section should briefly describe what note name options there are, and lead to relevant pages for notation (or possibly a 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:
##'''Low harmonic entropy scales'''
##'''Temperament interpretations'''
#'''Tuning ranges''' - What tuning ranges and temperaments correspond to one another? Subsections for narrower ranges (ultra-, para-, and hypo-/quasi-/mini- ranges) can be added, combined, subdivided, or omitted as needed, but the following is a good starting place:
##'''Simple tunings''' - Step ratios 2:1, 3:1, and 3:2.
##'''Soft-of-basic''' '''tunings''' - Step ratios 4:3 and 5:3, in comparison to 3:2.
##'''Hard-of-basic''' '''tunings''' - Step ratios 4:1 and 5:2, in comparison to 3:1.
#'''Modes''' - What modes does the mos have and what are those modes' names? Mode names can include established or advocated names. Subsections may be added to separate unrelated naming schemes.
#'''Scales''' - What scales are there associated with this mos? Sections may include the following:
##'''Subset and superset MOS scales''' - This describes the mos's parent (subset) and child (superset) mosses; may also include conditional subset mosses.
##'''MODMOS scales''' ('''and muddles)'''
##'''Scala files'''
#'''Scale tree''' - A larger version of the equal tunings section of the mos infobox, showing a wider range of step ratios (and compatible equal temperaments) for the mos.
#'''Music''' - Are there any compositions or tracks that use this mos?
#'''See also''' - Are there any other pages related to this mos?
#'''External links''' - Are there outside resources related to this mos?
#'''References''' -  For cited works.


==Mos pages with sparse content==
==See also==
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:
Links to other pages can be added here.


#'''Name''' - Add if needed.
==External links==
#'''Modes'''
Links to outside-wiki resources regarding the mos and/or its tunings can be added here.

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. Sections in italics do not denote actual sections.

Lead section (precedes the first section)

{{Infobox MOS}}
{{MOS intro}}

Apart from other information (such as hatnotes), the lead section should, at the minimum, consist of the mos infobox and the mos intro. To ensure proper order of templates when viewed on mobile devices, the infobox should at least be placed before the intro. The mos intro is as follows:

5L 2s, named diatonic in TAMNAMS, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 5 large steps and 2 small steps, repeating every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 685.7 ¢ to 720 ¢, or from 480 ¢ to 514.3 ¢.

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.
    • 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.
  • 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.

Theory

Subsections include:

  • Low harmonic entropy scales
  • Temperament interpretations

Other subsections include:

  • Any theory described by musicians/theorists
  • Tetrachordal analysis or similar

Tuning ranges

Discussions about specific tuning ranges, and what JI ratios are approximated, can be given if there is sufficient information. Hatnotes to appropriate temperament pages are also advised.

Tuning ranges include:

  • Simple tunings - Step ratios 2:1, 3:1, and 3:2.
  • Soft-of-basic tunings - Step ratios 4:3 and 5:3, in comparison to 3:2
  • Hard-of-basic tunings - Step ratios 4:1 and 5:2, in comparison to 3:1.

Sections for smaller ranges can be used instead. Such ranges include:

  • Ultrasoft tunings - Step ratio tunings between 1:1 to 4:3
  • Parasoft tunings - Step ratio tunings between 4:3 to 3:2
  • Hyposoft tunings - Step ratio tunings between 3:2 to 2:1, which can be split even further if needed:
    • Quasisoft tunings - Step ratio tunings between 3:2 to 5:3
    • Minisoft tunings - Step ratio tunings between 5:3 to 2:1
  • Hypohard tunings - Step ratio tunings between 2:1 to 3:1, which can be split even further if needed:
    • Minihard tunings - Step ratio tunings between 2:1 to 5:2
    • Quasihard tunings - Step ratio tunings between 5:2 to 3:1
  • Parahard tunings - Step ratio tunings between 3:1 to 4:1
  • Ultrahard tunings - Step ratio tunings between 4:1 to 1:0

The mos degrees template shows cent values for varying step ratios.
