Reading sheet music based on non-diatonic mosses could be very confusing and could require a lot of practice and memorization. To mitigate this problem, diamond-MOS includes visual aids and redundancies to make reading music in unfamiliar systems easier. Diamonds on the left edge of the staff mark octaves and boxes on the barlines mark the steps of the mos. These symbols enable readers and performers to understand what's going on without needing to spend as much time studying the specific mos. | Reading sheet music based on non-diatonic mosses could be very confusing and could require a lot of practice and memorization.

It does not attempt to be an absolutely universal system that represents every microtonal theoretical school or system. It is designed to be backwards-compatible with standard notation and attempts to keep new symbols and memorization required to a minimum. | ||
