Several schemes for naming [[MOS scale|moment-of-symmetry scales]] (MOS scales) have been proposed by various people. Although the simplest way to refer to MOS scales is by the number of large and small steps it has (such as 5L 2s), unique names for these scales have been proposed. See also the [[Catalog of MOS]] for a listing of MOS in the more usual Ls scheme. See also the [[pergen]]s page.

For referring to intervals in an unspecified MOS, generic names such as "small fifth" or "large second" are typically used; these can be used to unambiguously refer to an interval in any MOS. Some naming systems give more specific names to MOS intervals. <!-- Not sure if this paragraph is needed anymore -->
