This section describes changes to existing [[TAMNAMS]] names that I would make. | This section describes changes to existing [[TAMNAMS]] names that I would make. Reasons: | ||
* There were Discord users with whom I shared a similar sentiment regarding the names of certain scales, mainly the mosses with the anti- prefix and the scales antidiatonic and superdiatonic. | |||
* Some names are still based on a temperament, so those are either replaced with a new name or at least altered so the references are more indirect. | |||
* Some names are too long (in my opinion). | |||
The choice of names are not perfect and some may have issues. This section is meant to start a discussion on alternate names. | |||

|azurtonic | |||
|An indirect reference to [[bleu]] temperament; azure is a specific shade of blue. Simplified name. The sub- prefix may falsely suggest another scale called "neutralic", similar to how sub'''aric''' (2L 6s) is the parent to both j'''aric''' (2L 8s) and t'''aric''' (8L 2s). | |||
|New name is technically referencing a temperament. The sub- prefix reasoning may be a stretch, since subaric, jaric, and taric is the only group of mosses related this way. | |||
