Xenharmonic Wiki:WikiProject Mospage

This page in a nutshell: Project Mospage is a long-term wiki project to clean up, maintain, and improve all MOS-related pages.

Page is work-in-progress. To be moved to appropriate namespace once deemed complete.

Goals:

Scope:

• Primary pages:
  • Pages for abstract MOS patterns
• Secondary pages:
  • Pages that describe properties and theory regarding MOS scales
  • TAMNAMS-related pages

Open tasks

Primary tasks

For MOS pages:

• Provide a style guide for MOS pages for:
  • Pages with sparse info (generally scales with high step counts).
  • Pages with plentiful info (generally scales with step counts 6-10).
• Provide temperament-related info in appropriate sections.
  • Verify all scale trees.
• Develop and refine appropriate templates to automate the presentation of common MOS-related data.

Secondary tasks

For theory pages:

• Provide satisfactory definitions of a MOS scale at both the beginner and expert level.

For TAMNAMS:

• Redefine TAMNAMS as a notationally agnostic means of presenting MOS scales, not just a system of naming scales, scale degrees, and intervals.
  • Ensure all TAMNAMS names are satisfactory.
  • Add a protocol for namechanges.
• For TAMNAMS Extension, verify that these names are also satisfactory.
  • Give names used by Scale Workshop 3 its own section. Clean up these names or clarify their usage wherever they are used on MOS pages.
  • Provide a general, systemized naming scheme for child mosses.

Miscellaneous tasks

For MOS pages:

• Provide audio examples.

For categories:

• Possibly split theory pages from Category:MOS scale into Category:MOS scale theory
• Possibly split Category:Abstract MOS patterns into Category:Octave-equivalent abstract MOS patterns and Category:Non-octave abstract MOS patterns

Other:

• Rewrite the page Catalog of MOS

Categories under jurisdiction

• Category:Abstract MOS patterns
• Category:TAMNAMS
• Category:MOS scale (theory pages only)

Templates

Templates for MOS pages:

• Template:MOS intro
• Template:Infobox MOS
• Template:MOS data - this is a combination template of the templates listed below:
  • Template:MOS intervals
  • Template:MOS genchain
  • Template:MOS mode degrees
• Template:TAMNAMS name
• Template:MOS modes
• Template:MOS tunings (work-in-progress; do not use yet)
• Template:Scale tree

Templates whose use is unclear:

• Template:MOS interval HE

Disused templates that may be worth reviving:

• Template:MOS gamut

Deprecated templates (do not use):

• Template:MOS degrees (to be replaced by Template:MOS tunings)
