Sections that would be otherwise too short, such as temperament-related information, can be added in the lead section instead. | Sections that would be otherwise too short, such as temperament-related information, can be added in the lead section instead. | ||

''Name and arrangement is work-in-progress.'' | |||
Subsections for this follow the format for TAMNAMS, in which the following are described in their own subsections: | |||
=== 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> | The use of TAMNAMS is advised for describing the names of its intervals and scale degrees.

== | ===Modes=== | ||
Listings of the scale's modes, or rotations of its step patterns, are added here. This can include mode names in use by the general community. Names that have not received use by the broader community use should be treated as idiosyncratic, and if applicable, the person who had proposed the names should be stated. Example: ''person-name'' has proposed/advocated for the following names... | Listings of the scale's modes, or rotations of its step patterns, are added here.

==Tuning ranges== | === Scale name === | ||
Any names for the mos, as commonly used by the broader community, proposed by or given by theorists/composers, and prescribed under TAMNAMS if applicable, are described here. | |||
The mos intro module can also display names, with applicable TAMNAMS names displayed automatically. Other names can be passed into this module, but it's recommended to pass in commonly used names. | |||
==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. Hatnotes to appropriate temperament pages are also advised. | Discussions about specific tuning ranges, and what JI ratios are approximated, can be given.
