Added "disclaimer" to page; capped 3/1 and 3/2 names to 10 note mosses

This is a system for describing and naming mos scales beyond the set of named TAMNAMS mosses. Both [[User:Frostburn]] ([[User:Frostburn/TAMNAMS Extension]]) and I have similar systems for how to name mos descendants. However, this page describes several more systems that apply to non-octave mosses.

The schemes proposed here are '''not meant to be a definitive naming scheme'''. Rather, it's meant to be a starting point for a naming scheme discussion.


The scope of this TAMNAMS extension is as follows:
The scope of this TAMNAMS extension is as follows:


# Systematically name mosses beyond the named range by how they're related to TAMNAMS-named mosses. The most common way of doing this is by considering what mosses descend from a TAMNAMS-named mos.
# Systematically name mosses beyond the named range by how they're related to TAMNAMS-named mosses. The most common way of doing this is by considering what mosses descend from a TAMNAMS-named mos.
## Secondarily, propose unique names for certain mosses in case they're worth having distinct names. Some of these names are old names that have been around long enough to be memorable.
## Secondarily, propose unique names for certain mosses in case they're worth having distinct names. Some of these names are old names that have been around long enough to be memorable. This is currently limited to mosses with no more than 13 notes.
# Systematically name mosses for non-octave equaves, namely fifth and tritave-equivalent mosses.
# Systematically name mosses for non-octave equaves, namely fifth and tritave-equivalent mosses. Names for mosses with no more than 10 notes are prioritized.
# Systematically name mosses regardless of the equave. Such names should be as general as possible.

Since the perfect 5th and tritave (or perfect 12th) are the two most common non-octave equivalence intervals for which there are scales described, mosses for these two intervals should be the most likely to receive TAMNAMS-like names. For mosses with any other equivalence interval, describing nested mos structures, or in situations where the notion of an equivalence interval is unimportant, equave-agnostic names are proposed.

Names for tritave and fifth-equivalent mosses are assumed to be the same name as their equave-agnostic equivalent, unless a fitting name is already given.
