Given a MOS pattern xL ys, its two possible '''daughters''' are obtained by splitting its large steps into two more smaller steps ''s'' and ''c'', where ''s'' is equal to the original small step and ''c'' (also called the ''chroma'') is the difference between a large step and small step. The daughters have two forms:

The daughters have two forms:


* (x+y)L xs, where splitting the original large step results in ''s'' being larger than ''c''. Here, ''s'' and ''c'' become the large and small steps, respectively.
* (x+y)L xs, where splitting the original large step results in ''s'' being larger than ''c''. Here, ''s'' and ''c'' become the large and small steps, respectively.
