The order of the accidentals of the key signature from left to right should follow the generator chain, just like how 12edo key signatures follow the circle of fifths.

The mos mode written on the score, and represented by the boxes, ~~cannot~~ be a ~~[[MODMOS Scales|modmos]]~~. However, there is a way to make ~~modmos~~ key signatures to avoid cluttering the score with accidentals. First, we write the key signature corresponding to the tonic as if the mos is not ~~modified~~. This is so that you can still find the tonic just by counting the accidentals. Next, we add the ~~modmos~~ alterations as extra accidentals to the right of the existing ones. There is a dotted line between the pure mos accidentals and the ~~modmos~~ accidentals to improve clarity. The dotted line has the word "~~MOD~~" attached below to reinforce its meaning. (If the pure key signature is blank, the dotted line is ~~just~~ to the left of the ~~modmos~~ accidentals.) As discussed before, all accidentals in diamond-mos completely override any preceding accidentals. This includes ~~modmos~~ accidentals in the key signature.

The mos mode written on the score, and represented by the boxes, must be a pure mos with no alterations. However, there is a way to make altered mos key signatures to avoid cluttering the score with accidentals. First, we write the key signature corresponding to the tonic as if the mos is not altered. This is so that you can still find the tonic just by counting the accidentals. Next, we add the alterations as extra accidentals to the right of the existing ones. There is a dotted line between the pure mos accidentals and the alteration accidentals to improve clarity. The dotted line has the word "ALT" attached below to reinforce its meaning. (If the pure key signature is blank, the dotted line is to the left of the alteration accidentals, with nothing to the left of the dotted line.) As discussed before, all accidentals in diamond-mos completely override any preceding accidentals. This includes alteration accidentals in the key signature.
