→MOS pattern names: added multimosses
Line 232: Line 232:


== MOS pattern names ==
== MOS pattern names ==
The following names are suggested for certain octave-period mosses of sizes between 5 and 10. These names are optional; interval size names and step ratio names can be combined with conventional ''xL ys'' names. For example: ''21edo is the soft [[5L 3s]] tuning and its major mosthird is a neutral third of size 342.9 cents.'' (Pattern names are the least important part of TAMNAMS.)

Some of these come from temperament-agnostic mos names coined by [[Igliashon Jones]] and others, as well as some of the names (such as ''mosh'') from [[Graham Breed]]'s [[mos naming#Graham_Breed.27s_naming_scheme|mos names]]. Some are named by taking an arbitrary temperament that generates the scale (preferably in the mos's [[proper]] range) and suffixing ''-oid''. These names have been coined so that mosses can be discussed more independently of RTT temperaments (while drawing on an established RTT tradition in the xen community which may help make the names more meaningful to more people).
