An obvious first rough classification of MOS scales is given by the number of elements of the scale - the number of large intervals (L) and the number of small intervals (s). E.g., the diatonic scale in 12-tone equal temperament could be described as 5L 2s (5 large steps and 2 small steps). | An obvious first rough classification of MOS scales is given by the number of elements of the scale - the number of large intervals (L) and the number of small intervals (s). E.g., the diatonic scale in 12-tone equal temperament could be described as [[5L 2s]] (5 large steps and 2 small steps). | ||
Since numbers tend to be dry, Graham Breed has proposed a [[MOSNamingScheme|naming scheme for MOS scales]]. | Since numbers tend to be dry, Graham Breed has proposed a [[MOSNamingScheme|naming scheme for MOS scales]]. | ||

David Canright was the first to suggest Fibonacci Rhythms in 1/1. This lead to Kraig Grady to be the first to apply MOS patterns to rhythms.
