=== Naming specific mos intervals ===

The phrase ''k-mosstep'' by itself does not specify ~~how large~~ an interval is. To refer to specific intervals, the familiar modifiers of ''major'', ''minor'', ''augment'', ''perfect'', and ''diminished'' are used. As mosses are [[Distributional evenness|distributionally even]], every interval (except for the mosunison and mosoctave) will be in no more than two sizes.

The phrase ''k-mosstep'' by itself does not specify the exact size of an interval. To refer to specific intervals, the familiar modifiers of ''major'', ''minor'', ''augment'', ''perfect'', and ''diminished'' are used. As mosses are [[Distributional evenness|distributionally even]], every interval (except for the mosunison and mosoctave) will be in no more than two sizes.

To find what mos ~~intervals~~ are found in a mos xL ys, start with the patterns of large and small steps that represents the mos in its brightest mode (the following subsection explains how to do this) and its darkest mode (which is the reverse pattern for the mos's brightest mode). For our running example of 3L 4s, this is LsLsLss and ssLsLsL. To find the large sizes of each k-mosstep, we consider the first k mossteps that make up the mos pattern for the brightest mode. Repeat this process with the mos pattern for the darkest mode to find each k-mosstep's small size. To make these sizes more clear, we can denote the mos intervals as a sum of large and small steps iL+js, where i and j are the number of L's and s's in the interval's step pattern; this is to say that the order of L's and s's doesn't matter, rather the amount of each step size. The large and small sizes should differ by replacing one L in the large size with an s.
