| == Standardized names ==
| |
| [[User:IlL|Inthar]] suggests a standardized set of temperament-agnostic names for commonly used octave-equivalent MOS scales of sizes between 6 and 10. Some of these come from temperament-agnostic MOS names coined by [[Igliashon Jones]] and others. Some are directly taken from temperament-based names for scales, often because the regular temperament is the only "good" or simple temperament in the range. 1L ns names are intentionally unspecific because the generator can be anywhere from the octave to to 1\(n+1)) and can better be viewed as subsets of larger MOSes, for example [[1L 6s]] as a subset of [[7L 1s]].

| |
| Most of these names are still provisional; the relatively established names have been bolded.
