TAMNAMS also uses the designations of augmented and diminished to refer to alterations of a mos interval, much like with using sharps and flats in standard notation. However, mos intervals are altered by raising or lowering it by a moschroma, the difference between a large step and a small step. Raising a minor mos interval by a chroma makes it major, and lowering a major mos interval makes it minor. A major or perfect mos interval can be raised by a chroma repeatedly to produce an augmented, doubly-augmented, and (uncommonly) a triply-augmented mos interval. Likewise, a minor or perfect mos interval can be lowered by a chroma repeatedly to produce a diminished, doubly-diminished, and (uncommonly) a triply-diminished mos interval.

The names of alterations also apply to mos degrees.


A mosunison or mosoctave that is itself augmented or diminished may also be referred to a mosaugmented or mosdiminished unison or octave.
