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. | |||
== Intervals == | |||
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.
