These correspond to two of the temperings X = Y, Y = Z and X = Z. The third tempering follows by symmetry (by taking the other chirality). | ||
For (7), consider the mos aX 2bW as chunks of X separated by W (tempering Y and Z together into W). Eliminating every other W turns it into a mos, because the sum of sizes of consecutive chunks of X (1st chunk with 2nd chunk, 3rd with 4th, ...) must form a mos. This is because the chunk sizes of X form a mos, and taking every kth note of an n-note mos where k divides n yields a mos. Since the result of setting X = 0 is the mos bY bZ, ''S'' is elimination-mos. | For (7), consider the mos aX 2bW as chunks of X separated by W (tempering Y and Z together into W).
