Update: notation should be separate from the rest of the mos page to avoid confusion or conflict over which notation scheme to use (EG, diamond-mos, ups-and-downs, etc)

The following order of sections is recommended for important mos pages.
The following order of sections is recommended for important mos pages.


#'''Name(s)''' - What is the mos called? TAMNAMS is the predominant naming scheme, but some names may come from earlier naming systems and other theorists' recommendations.
#'''Name(s)''' - What is the mos called? TAMNAMS is the predominant naming scheme for octave-repeating mosses, but can include additional names from other theorists.
#'''Intervals''' - What are the interval names for the mos? TAMNAMS interval and scale degree names should be used. Note names should not be included in the main page, as there are different ways, temperament-specific and temperament-agnostic, of notating such. (This should instead be fulfilled using a subpage.)
#'''Intervals''' - What are the interval names for the mos? TAMNAMS interval and scale degree names should be used.
#'''Notation''' - To reduce confusion over how to name pitch classes, this section should lead to a subpage describing different notation schemes for the mos. See [[User:Ganaram inukshuk/MOS page style guide#Notation subpage]].
#'''Notation''' - To reduce confusion over note names, this section should lead to a subpage describing different notation schemes. See [[User:Ganaram inukshuk/MOS page style guide#Notation subpage]].
#'''Theory''' - Is there any theory behind this mos? This can include RTT-related content and non-RTT content. In terms of RTT-related content, this can include:

##'''Soft-of-basic''' '''tunings''' - Step ratios 4:3 and 5:3, in comparison to 3:2.
##'''Soft-of-basic''' '''tunings''' - Step ratios 4:3 and 5:3, in comparison to 3:2.
##'''Hard-of-basic''' '''tunings''' - Step ratios 4:1 and 5:2, in comparison to 3:1.
##'''Hard-of-basic''' '''tunings''' - Step ratios 4:1 and 5:2, in comparison to 3:1.
#'''Modes''' - What modes does the mos have? What names do they have, if any? Mode names can include established or advocated names; multiple sets of names may be given their own section if there is enough information for each set (such as justification).
#'''Modes''' - What modes does the mos have and what are those modes' names? Mode names can include established or advocated names. Subsections may be added to separate unrelated naming schemes.
#'''Scales''' - What scales are there associated with this mos? Sections may include the following:
#'''Scales''' - What scales are there associated with this mos? Sections may include the following:
##'''Subset and superset MOS scales''' - This describes the mos's parent (subset) and child (superset) mosses; may also include conditional subset mosses.
##'''Subset and superset MOS scales''' - This describes the mos's parent (subset) and child (superset) mosses; may also include conditional subset mosses.

Notation options are not limited to these two, and other notation schemes can be added in addition to these.
