Line 37:

: Since we can rarely apply all of Ganaram inukshuk's assumptions at once to non-diatonic MOSses, I suggest we should give priority to the first assumption, because the scales closest to 5, 7, and 12 notes are the ones most melodically similar to the pentatonic, diatonic, and chromatic scales. For example, for porcupine, [[1L 4s]] is the haplotonic scale, [[1L 6s]] is the albitonic scale, and [[7L 8s]] is the chromatic scale.

: However, this approach would still require the intermediate terms–using the porcupine example again, the [[1L 5s]] and [[7L 1s]] scales would need to use terms like "mega-haplotonic" and "mega-albitonic". I don't think any naming system will ever be able to get rid of these types of terms, because, even if we forced the haplotonic, albitonic, and chromatic scales to be next to each other in the chain (e.g. 7, 8, and 15 notes for porcupine), we would still need to worry about "mini-haplotonic" and "mega-chromatic" scales. ~~I suggest that, if~~ these terms are inevitably required, we should come up with some standard way of naming them, although I am not sure how to do that.
