|- | |- | ||
| Scale Signature || Yes (optional on mos pages) || The mos's scale signature in the form "xL ys", or for non-octave mosses, "xL ys<p/q>", "xL ys⟨p/q⟩", or "xL ys (p/q-equivalent)". If left blank and used on a mos page, then the page's title will be used. | | Scale Signature || Yes (optional on mos pages) || The mos's scale signature in the form "xL ys", or for non-octave mosses, <nowiki>"xL ys<p/q>"</nowiki>, "xL ys⟨p/q⟩", or "xL ys (p/q-equivalent)". If left blank and used on a mos page, then the page's title will be used. | ||
|- | |||
| Step Ratio || No (optional) || The step ratio of the mos, denoted as a fraction p/q. If not simplified, then the ratio is automatically simplified. If left blank, then then step ratio 2/1 is used by default. | |||
|- | |- | ||
| Bright Gens Up || No (optional) || The number of bright generators going up needed to produce the mode for which notation is applied. If a mode is denoted using its [[UDP]] (up|dp), this is the value up (u times p). If left blank, then the brightest mode is used by default. | | Bright Gens Up || No (optional) || The number of bright generators going up needed to produce the mode for which notation is applied.

If left blank, then either b or @ is used by default. | | Flat Symbol || No (optional) || The symbol used to denote lowering by a chroma, usually a flat (b) or diamond-MOS's at symbol (@).

== Usage == | |||
The typical use of this template is for describing a mos's gamut, the set of named notes, with accidentals. | |||
<pre>{{MOS gamut}}</pre> | |||
=== Using a different scale signature === | |||
If desired, a different scale signature can be entered as shown below. | |||
<pre>{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 2L 5s}}</pre> | |||
{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 2L 5s}} | |||
=== Examples === | |||
An example of this template's usage can be shown using Armodue notation (used for 7L 2s) and Lambda notation (used for 3/1-equivalent 4L 5s). | |||
<pre>{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 7L 2s|Bright Gens Up = 7|Note Symbols = 123456789|Sharp Symbol = #|Flat Symbol = b}}</pre> | |||
{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 7L 2s|Bright Gens Up = 7|Note Symbols = 123456789|Sharp Symbol = #|Flat Symbol = b}} | |||
<pre>{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 4L 5s (3/1-equivalent)|Bright Gens Up = 5|Note Symbols = CDEFGHJAB|Sharp Symbol = #|Flat Symbol = b}}</pre> | |||
{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 4L 5s (3/1-equivalent)|Bright Gens Up = 5|Note Symbols = CDEFGHJAB|Sharp Symbol = #|Flat Symbol = b}} | |||
== Limitations == | |||
This template currently cannot handle accidentals any smaller than a sharp or flat (such as ups and downs). An example of this is 5L 2s in 24edo, with a step ratio is 4/2. In such cases, the step ratio is simplified and a simpler gamut is shown. | |||
<pre>{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 5L 2s|Step Ratio = 4/2}}</pre> | |||
{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 5L 2s|Step Ratio = 4/2}} | |||
This template can accept equalized step ratios, but currently not collapsed step ratios. | |||
<pre>{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 5L 2s|Step Ratio = 1/0}}</pre> | |||
{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 5L 2s|Step Ratio = 1/0}} |
