''This article assumes TAMNAMS conventions for naming step ratios, intervals, scale degrees, modes, and step patterns.''

===Name ===

[[TAMNAMS]] suggests the temperament-agnostic name '''smitonic''' ''smy-TON-ik'' /smaɪˈtɒnɪk/ for this scale. The name is derived from 'sharp minor third', since the central range for the dark generator (320¢ to 333.3¢) is significantly sharp of [[6/5]] (just minor 3rd, 315.6¢).

===Intervals sizes===

Names for this scale's intervals (mossteps) and scale degrees (mosdegrees) are based on the number of large and small steps from the root, starting at 0 (0-mosstep and 0-mosdegree) for the unison, per TAMNAMS. Ordinal names, such as mos-1st for the unison, are discouraged for non-diatonic MOS scales.

Being a moment-of-symmetry scale, every [[interval class]] of 4L 3s, except for the unison and octave, has two [[Interval variety|varieties]] – large and small – whose [[Interval quality|relative qualities]] are denoted as major or minor, or augmented, perfect, and diminished for the generators.
