| == Proposal: Equave-agnostic mos names (work-in-progress) == | | == Proposal: Equave-agnostic mos names (work-in-progress) == |
| This is an attempt at naming mosses, much like [[TAMNAMS]] and with [[MOS Naming Scheme|past naming schemes]]. However, whereas most mos naming systems focus on naming mosses in an octave-equivalent context, this system uses names for an equave-agnostic context, which may be useful when talking about non-octave mosses such as tritave-equivalent or fifth-equivalent scales, or talking about nested mos pattern, such as with a [[MOS Cradle|mos cradle]].
| | See [[User:Ganaram inukshuk/TAMNAMS Extension]] |
| | |
| If anything, this is an exercise in completeness.

| === Reasoning for names ===
| |
| Names for these mosses are meant to be as general as possible, starting with established names that are already equave-agnostic: trivial, (an)trial, (an)tetric, (an)pentic, and pedal/manual. Mosses are named in pairs of xL ys and yL xs, where the mos with more small steps than large steps is given the an- prefix, short for anti-; this rule doesn't apply to pentic (2L 3s) and anpentic (3L 2s), where the former is the familiar pentatonic scale.
| |
| | |
| As there is only one pair of 6-note single-period mosses, 5L 1s and 1L 5s, the pair is named '''hexic'''.
| |
| | |
| With 7-note mosses, there are three pairs of mosses, whose names are based on three languages: Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit. The pair 5L 2s and 2L 5s are given the Greek-based name of '''heptic''', as 5L 2s is the familiar diatonic scale. The next pair, 3L 4s and 4L 3s, are given the Latin-based name of '''septenic'''. The last pair, 1L 6s and 6L 1s, are given the Sanskrit-based name of '''saptic''.'''''
| |
| | |
| This pattern is continued for all successive sequences of mosses for each successive note count: 1L ns and nL 1s are given a Sanskrit-based name, the next single-period pair after that are given a Greek-based name, and the next single-period pair after that are given a Latin-based name. The two 8-note pairs are named '''astaic''' (7L 1s and 1L 7s) and '''octic''' (5L 3s and 3L 5s) respectively. The three 9-note pairs are named '''navic''' (8L 1s and 1L 8s), '''ennaic''' (7L 2s and 2L 7s), and '''novemic''' (4L 5s and 5L 4s). Finally the two 10-note pairs are named '''dashic''' (9L 1s and 1L 9s) and '''dekic''' (7L 3s and 3L 7s).
| |
| | |
| Only mosses with no more than 10 notes are named this way. Not only does this mirror the current convention of naming mosses up to 10 notes, but because starting at 11 notes, three languages are no longer enough to name these mosses. Multi-period mosses are not given their own, unique names. Rather, for a mos xL ys where x and y share a greatest common factor of k, the name reflects some smaller base mos xL ys duplicated k times; for example, 5L 5s is named 5-trivial, and 2L 6s is named 2-antetric.
| |
| === Proposal for naming equave-agnostic mosdescendants ===
| |
| Mosdescendants are named by adding prefixes to the base names described above, but only to those whose child mosses exceed 10 notes. The proposed prefixes are listed below.
