'''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 pattern (called the filling MOS), scale step for scale step, for all occurrences of a chosen step size of another MOS pattern (called the template MOS). Unlike MV3 scales, a MOS substitution scale may have any combination of step sizes.

For example, if the template MOS is '''LXLXX''', and the filling MOS is '''mss''', then the resulting MOS substitution scales are '''LmLss''', '''LsLms''', and '''LsLsm'''. The first scale is denoted "subst 2L(1m2s) 2|0", using [[UDP]] notation for the filling MOS, and is said to be a "subst 2L(1m2s)". We always substitute into the brightest mode of the template MOS, where X is treated as the smaller step.
