~~Enharmonic equivalences~~ are currently limited to pitches that fall at the exact midpoint of two other pitches, such as C# and Db being equivalent in standard notation. This is to ~~name every pitch using~~ note names ~~that~~ have as few accidentals as possible~~. Other equivalences, such as C and B# in standard notation, are therefore not shown~~.

Equivalent pitch classes, such as enharmonic equivalents, are currently limited to pitches that fall at the exact midpoint of two other pitches, such as C# and Db being equivalent in standard notation, or C and B# being equivalent. This is to ensure note names have as few accidentals as possible.

~~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 produced~~.

Other means of notation, such as using ups and downs or half-accidentals, are currently not supported.

If a step ratio is entered without being simplified, the edo (or ed{{angbr|equave|}}) displayed will reflect that by being a larger division of the equave. An example of this is 5L 2s in 24edo, whose step ratio is 4/2. However, notation for the additional notes, which may be notated using ups and downs, are currently not added for the sake of keeping the output simple.

<pre>{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 5L 2s|Step Ratio = 4/2}}</pre>

This template can accept equalized step ratios, but ~~currently not~~ collapsed step ratios. This is~~, however,~~ an aesthetic issue.

This template can accept equalized step ratios, but collapsed step ratios result in an improperly formatted table. This is an aesthetic issue.
