Diamond-mos notation: Difference between revisions

Line 100:

It is acceptable to treat equal scales (sub-edos of the edo used for notation) as mosses for notation in diamond-mos, for example 9edo in 18edo. In that case, &/@ have no meaning and are disallowed. There are also no boxes on the staff.

It is acceptable to use 5L 2s-based notation even for edos where the best fifth is 4\7 or 3\5. This is for consistency with existing microtonal notation that allows this. In the case of 4\7, #/b technically alter notes by zero edosteps, so they’re disallowed. [[Equalized]] and [[paucitonic]] tunings are only allowed for 5L 2s, not other mosses.

[[TAMNAMS#Step ratio spectrum|Equalized]] and [[TAMNAMS#Step ratio spectrum|paucitonic]] tunings are only allowed for 5L 2s, not other mosses.

It is possible to use non-octave equal tunings and non-octave mosses with diamond-mos. In this case, the diamonds mark the structural [[equave]] (the period or occasionally a multiple of the period). JKL note names repeat at this same equave. Explicitly write out what this equave is along with the tuning and mos pattern.

There is currently no way to use diamond-mos notation in notation software. There may be a font created for MuseScore which enables diamond-mos scores to be made. However, creating a plugin to make diamond-mos scores play back correctly in MuseScore could be very difficult, and there are currently no plans to make one.

The raster images of diamond-mos accidentals have been designed and created, so you can draw up diamond-mos notation in image editing software.
