'''MOS substitution'''{{idiosyncratic}} is a procedure for obtaining a ternary (3 step sizes) scale from two [[MOS scale]]s. It consists of substituting the step pattern of one MOS (called the filling MOS), step by step, for all occurrences of a chosen step size (either L or s) of another MOS (called the template MOS). Unlike [[MV3]] scales, a MOS substitution scale may have any combination of step sizes. | '''MOS substitution'''{{idiosyncratic}} is a procedure for obtaining a ternary (3 step sizes) scale from two [[MOS scale]]s.

The same operation can be done even when the scales involved are not MOS scales or necessarily even binary scales, in which context it may be called '''letterwise substitution''' or simply '''substitution'''. | The same operation can be done even when the scales involved are not MOS scales or necessarily even binary scales, in which context it may be called '''letterwise substitution''' or simply '''substitution'''. | ||
