Diamond-mos notation is based in a specific tuning (such as an edo) at a given time, written at the top of the score. Within an edo, the naturals on the staff represent a specific mos. The mos pattern is written in ~~edosteps~~ at the top of the score, e.g. “33133131”. The natural staff notes are the specific mode written, starting from middle C.

Diamond-mos notation is based in a specific tuning (such as an edo) at a given time, written at the top of the score. Within an edo, the naturals on the staff represent a specific mos. The mos pattern is written in large and small steps at the top of the score (if applicable, in edosteps), e.g. “33133131”. The natural staff notes are the specific mode written, starting from middle C.

Diamond-mos notation treats the diatonic mos ([[5L 2s]]) as special. If you’re using 5L 2s, diamond-mos looks like standard music notation. It uses standard clefs, #/b accidentals, and ABCDEFG note names. If you're using 5L 2s, you don't need to write the mos pattern on the score, only the tuning. If you're using an edo that has 5L 2s, its notes can be used as an unchanging reference other mosses can be compared against. For example, you might say “P@ = Bb” to provide a reference for which note P@ is.
