Tabulate diatonic family
Line 1: Line 1:
This is a proposed systematic extension for the TAMNAMS MOS scale naming system based on parent / grand parent relationships. It's intended for a user interface so that every MOS pattern has a memorable name. The main table in the wiki can represent a curated list of good scales for newcomers and these are just a bonus.
