{{interwiki|en=MOS scale|de=MOS-Skala|es=|ja=MOSスケール|ro=G2S}}{{Beginner|Mathematics of MOS}}An '''MOS''' (sometimes '''mos'''; originally pronounced "em-oh-ess," but sometimes also pronounced "moss"; plural '''MOSes''' or '''mosses''') or '''moment of symmetry''' is a [[periodic scale]] ~~in which ascending by any given~~ number of steps ~~is equivalent to ascending by either a multiple~~ of the period ~~or one~~ of two ~~possible intervals~~. We can denote step patterns of mosses by writing L for each large step and s for each small step.

{{interwiki|en=MOS scale|de=MOS-Skala|es=|ja=MOSスケール|ro=G2S}}{{Beginner|Mathematics of MOS}}An '''MOS''' (sometimes '''mos'''; originally pronounced "em-oh-ess," but sometimes also pronounced "moss"; plural '''MOSes''' or '''mosses''') or '''moment of symmetry''' is a [[periodic scale]] where every number of steps (except those spanning multiples of the period) spans intervals of two specific sizes. We can denote step patterns of mosses by writing L for each large step and s for each small step.

The [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]] is a classic example of an MOS scale. It has 7 steps: 5 large ones (whole tones) and 2 small ones (diatonic semitones). Writing out the pattern of the major mode, we get LLsLLLs. The other modes are rotations of this pattern (e.g. LsLLsLL is the minor mode.) The melodic minor scale, which is not a mode of the diatonic scale, (LsLLLLs) is not a MOS since it has three kinds of fifths: perfect, diminished, and augmented; and so ascending by four steps is equivalent to ascending by one of three possible intervals.
