Changed section on extended tamnams names to properly reflect current names

Though modal brightness makes more sense when thinking about the modes of a single MOS, this is how the modes of all six MOSses are ordered when sorted from highest binary encoding to smallest binary encoding:

It's important to note that the ordering will vary from edo to edo, since the step ratios will be different, and that these orderings will be different from the ordering of binary encodings.

== On various mosses, with extended scale names ==
== Extending TAMNAMS names (archived) ==
This is an attempt to describe various mosses that I feel are worth describing, based on experimenting with these scales or for completion. This contains unofficial scale names that try to be as close to existing names as possible and are not meant to be official or standard. The following table shows single-period mosses sorted by generation.
This is an attempt to describe various mosses that I feel are worth describing, based on experimenting with these scales or for completion. This contains unofficial scale names that try to be as close to existing names as possible and are not meant to be official or standard. The following table shows single-period mosses sorted by generation rather than note count. As of August 2022, much of this section is rendered unnecessary due to [[TAMNAMS#Mos pattern names|TAMNAMS names]] being reorganized in the following ways, hence this section is kept for archival purposes.


Extended names are denoted with an asterisk. Named 1L ns (monolarge) scales are denoted using italics and are based on its sister scale with the anti- prefix added.

This section may change over time due to TAMNAMS names being updated to maintain temperament-agnosticism. Outdated proposals are kept here for archival purposes.

The current name "monowood" comes from nL ns scales (such as pentawood for 5L 5s).
The current name "monowood" comes from nL ns scales (such as pentawood for 5L 5s), and is used as a base for such scales. The name trivial comes from the fact that this is a trivial (octave-equivalent) scale, consisting of only its generators.

5L 2s has two children: 5L 7s and 7L 5s, or formerly p- and m-chromatic respectively. This section describes a scheme for naming the daughter and granddaughter scales for 5L 2s, which can be generalized to any parent mos; see [[User:Frostburn/TAMNAMS Extension]] or the following section for more information.
