I (SupahstarSaga) propose a variant name system. (This is similar to the "k-shift" suggestion above.) First, use the term "mosstep" for steps of the mos, large or small. From there, an interval which is k mossteps wide is a "k-mosstep", short for "k-mosstep interval". Major, minor, perfect, etc would apply as established. The names "mosoctave" and "mosunison" could still be used, interchangeably with "n-mosstep" (for an n-tone mos) and "0-mosstep" respectively. This change makes the arithmetic needed to understand mos intervals much smoother. | I (SupahstarSaga) propose a variant name system. (This is similar to the "k-shift" suggestion above.)

In contexts where it doesn't cause ambiguity, "k-mosstep" can be shortened to "k-step". | |||
Note: If this change becomes more accepted, it could replace the ordinal names above. | Note: If this change becomes more accepted, it could replace the ordinal names above. | ||
