Zero-indexed interval names are also used for arbitrary scales. So | Zero-indexed interval names are also used for arbitrary scales. So a k-step interval can still be named ''k-step'', but instead of ''k-mosstep'', we use ''k-scalestep'' for arbitrary scales. | ||

Analogously to 2-step-size scales including mosses, scales with three step sizes L > M > S, including [[MV3]] scales, can also be defined by their L:M:S ratios. Here TAMNAMS names the L/M ratio and then the M/S ratio as if these were mos step ratios: for example, [[21edo]] [[diasem]] (5L 2M 2s, LMLSLMLSL or its inverse) has a step ratio of L:M:S = 3:2:1, so we name it ''soft-basic diasem''. | Analogously to 2-step-size scales including mosses, scales with three step sizes L > M > S, including [[MV3]] scales, can also be defined by their L:M:S ratios.
