Module:MOS intro

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This module should not be invoked directly; use its corresponding template instead: Template:MOS intro.

This module automatically fills in an introduction for MOS scales. It clarifies the equave, numbers of long and short steps, and range of generators that produce it.
