-The minimum harmonic entropy scale with this [[MOS]] pattern is [[diminished]][8], basically the familiar [[octatonic scale]] of 12edo.
+The minimum harmonic entropy scale with this [[MOS]] pattern is [[diminished]][8], the familiar [[octatonic scale]] of 12edo.
-There are 4 different near-MOSes such that multiples of the period are the only generic intervals with more than two specific representatives: LLsLsLss, LLsLssLs, LLssLLss, LLssLsLs. However, none are strictly proper in 12edo. (They are only proper if the generator is larger than 100 cents, which unfortunately is the wrong direction for good diminished tunings.)
+In addition to the true MOS form, LsLsLsLs, there are four near-MOS forms – LLsLsLss, LLsLssLs, LLssLLss, and LLssLsLs – in which the period and its multiples are the only intervals with more than two varieties. The near-MOS forms are only proper if the dark generator is larger than 1\12 (100¢).
