m →My Python 3 code: fixed conversion from list to tuple and removed redundant line |
m →MOSS names i think are pretty: very small change |

* [[4L 3s]] I noticed is unique in that out of [[1L 6s]], [[2L 5s]], [[3L 4s]], [[4L 3s]] and [[5L 2s]] it is the only MOSS pattern that doesn't have both of its child MOSSes named and included. Note that it makes sense to make an exception for [[6L 1s]] as the large number of large steps and small number of small steps makes the range of valid tunings for the generator(s) the most strict of all the 7-note MOSSes. Anyway, as generators close to 6/5 corresponding to [[kleismic]] temperament seem to be of especial importance for this MOSS, I consider the [[4L 7s]] pattern important enough to be named, and it had a proposed name of "kleistonic", a name I think is fitting. As a result, [[7L 4s]] could be named "anti-kleistonic", but I think its actually sort of the more natural extension of the [[4L 3s]] scale pattern which has sharper minor thirds in less complex tunings, hence I've opted for naming it "suprasmitonic" instead after its (and to a lesser extent smitonic's) supraminor third generator AKA "sharp minor third" - the origin of the name "smitonic". Note that another reason I think [[4L 7s]] is worth distinguishing and naming is because kleismic temperaments tend to need both more generators and very hard tunings for [[4L 3s]], as evidenced by the basic tuning of [[11edo]] being way too sharp for kleismic and the hard tuning of [[15edo]] being the sharpest kleismic that could ever make some sense (as it requires, for instance, accepting 720c as an approximation of 3/2 and 400c as an approximation of 5/4). The interval prefixes/abbreviations for [[7L 4s]] are "ssmi" to show preference in comparing it to the underlying [[4L 3s]] scale and as a shortenage of "sharp supraminor third" and "suprasmitonic" correspondingly. | * [[4L 3s]] I noticed is unique in that out of [[1L 6s]], [[2L 5s]], [[3L 4s]], [[4L 3s]] and [[5L 2s]] it is the only MOSS pattern that doesn't have both of its child MOSSes named and included.

* I gave names for the interval prefixes and interval name abbreviations for [[5L 7s]] (p-chromatic) and [[7L 5s]] (m-chromatic). For [[7L 5s]] I picked "chrome" as it is strongly befitting of meantone as meantone does the 7-limit efficiently, elegantly and colourfully, and because its a contraction of "chromatic" and the "me" in "meantone". Pronounced like the word. For [[5L 7s]], in contrast with [[5L 7s]] which is mellow and harmonic, [[5L 7s]] is sharp and active, perhaps like fire, hence I picked "pyr-" from "pyro" and from "[py]thago[r]ean", with the " | * I gave names for the interval prefixes and interval name abbreviations for [[5L 7s]] (p-chromatic) and [[7L 5s]] (m-chromatic).

* Similarly to how I made an exception for the 1Lns scale form of [[1L 6s]], I'm making also making an exception to include the multiMOSS of [[6L 2s]] as [[Diaschismic_family#Echidna|echidna]] (from which the MOSS derives its name) is a strong and important temperament to me with a period of half an octave and where one generator is both 11/10 and 9/7 depending on from which direction you view it, as 11/10 * 9/7 is extremely close to half an octave, the period for this MOSS scale. ("MultiMOSS" stands for "multi-period Moment Of Symmetry Scale".) | * Similarly to how I made an exception for the 1Lns scale form of [[1L 6s]], I'm making also making an exception to include the multiMOSS of [[6L 2s]] as [[Diaschismic_family#Echidna|echidna]] (from which the MOSS derives its name) is a strong and important temperament to me with a period of half an octave and where one generator is both 11/10 and 9/7 depending on from which direction you view it, as 11/10 * 9/7 is extremely close to half an octave, the period for this MOSS scale.
