The terms ''soft'' and ''hard'' (as well as ''hyposoft'' and ''hypohard'') may be used for mossubchromatic mosses to refer to a mossubchromatic scale with a more general step ratio, producing the terms ''soft-mossubchromatic'' and ''hard-mossubchromatic''. This results in terminology that's more precise than just ''mossubchromatic'' but not as specific as the eight possible names. To avoid confusion, the specific step ratio prefixes used for mossubchromatic scales should not be used for moschromatic or mosenharmonic scales. | |||

TAMNAMS only has names for mosses with up to 10 notes, which covers mosses with up to 5 periods. To name mosses with more than 5 periods, the names for n-wood names for mosses | TAMNAMS only has names for mosses with up to 10 notes, which covers mosses with up to 5 periods. To name mosses with more than 5 periods, the names for n-wood names for mosses are extended to hexawood, heptawood (or septawood), octawood, nonawood (or enneawood), and decawood. Beyond that, the naming scheme becomes 11-wood, 12-wood, and so on. | ||

To keep names simple, the names for mosdescendants for mosses with 3 periods or more don't use the names of moschromatic, mosenharmonic, or mossubchromatic, but rather based on the term ''mosdescendant'' with the mos's prefix added accordingly, or more generally, ''n-wood descendants''. The number of generations from nL ns can also be specified. | |||
