Reverting changes to 5-10 note mos names, pending discussion
Line 245: Line 245:
Some of the names come from older temperament-agnostic mos names, such as 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).

1L ns names are not given, except 1L 1s as a special case, because the generator can be anywhere from the octave to to 1\(n+1) and those scales can better be viewed as subsets of larger mosses, for example [[1L 6s]] as a subset of [[7L 1s]].
