Is there an exact convention for what this should be? Possible answers include the smallest MOS with all odd harmonics in the limit accessible from the same root, and the smallest MOS with all intervals in the odd limit accessible from the same root. Most pages use the latter, but I prefer the former, as the latter sometimes gives overly large scales. For example, in [[miracle]] temperament, the minimum size of a scale to reach both [[11/10]] and [[20/11]] from the same root is 45, and the smallest MOS of at least that size is 72, at which point you might as well use all of 72edo. I'll change some pages to use the former; feel free to revert if you want.--[[User:Overthink|Overthink]] ([[User talk:Overthink|talk]]) 04:38, 19 October 2025 (UTC) | Is there an exact convention for what this should be?

: I think the former makes more sense too since we're talking about ''scales'', so like diatonic in meantone, you can reach the other tonality thru rotation. | |||
: I should add the definition for this number is the smallest mos that is greater than the ''q''-odd-limit Graham complexity for the temp. | |||
