[[Mavila]] has a fifth generator significantly flat of a [[3/2|just perfect fifth]] (between 5\9 = 666.7¢ and 4\7 = 685.7¢) so that 4 of them add up to a minor third. Thus we end up with an "antidiatonic" 7-note MOS, such that the LLsLLLs melodic pattern becomes inverted into the ssLsssL pattern. (see [[2L_5s|2L 5s]]) Additionally, while mavila supports 5-note and 7-note MOS's like meantone, it has an additional 9-note "superdiatonic" MOS scale as well, in which the LLsLLLs melodic pattern becomes extended into the LLLsLLLLs pattern. (see[[7L_2s| 7L 2s]]) These correspondences can be harnessed to create an intuitive naming system for the modes of mavila[7] and mavila[9] which reference the names of the existing familiar modes of meantone[7].
 
Mavila is the regular temperament eliminating [[135/128|135/128]]. As a consequence, this means that it will have a generator significantly flat of 3/2 so that 4 of them add up to a minor third. For any decent tuning of mavila, another consequence of this tempering is that we end up with an "antidiatonic" 7-note MOS, such that the LLsLLLs melodic pattern becomes inverted into the ssLsssL pattern. (see [[2L_5s|2L 5s]]) Additionally, while mavila supports 5-note and 7-note MOS's like meantone, it has an additional 9-note "superdiatonic" MOS scale as well, in which the LLsLLLs melodic pattern becomes extended into the LLLsLLLLs pattern. (see[[7L_2s| 7L 2s]]) These correspondences can be harnessed to create an intuitive naming system for the modes of mavila[7] and mavila[9] which reference the names of the existing familiar modes of meantone[7].

== Notes on Naming ==


The modes of the antidiatonic scale are simply named after the existing diatonic scale modes, but with the "Anti-" prefix (e.g. Anti-ionian, Anti-aeolian, etc). The modes of the superdiatonic scale are also named after the existing modes, but contain the "Super" prefix (e.g. Superionian, Superaeolian, etc.). The "anti" and "super" prefixes can be left in to explicitly distinguish which MOS's modes you're talking about, or can be omitted for convention.
