Particularly in the absence of any names, larger mosses can be described by how they related back to a more familiar mos and vice-versa. In general, all mosses with ''n'' periods relate back to a root mos of ''n''L ''n''s. For TAMNAMS-named mosses, any octave-equivalent mos with more than 10 steps and no more than 5 periods is related to some TAMNAMS-named mos. | |||
In either case, any mos can be related to its descendants by treating it as the root of its own scale tree. For a mos of the form ''x''L ''y''s, its descendants (children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc) contain the following pattern of step counts. | In either case, any mos can be related to its descendants by treating it as the root of its own scale tree.
