This is a sandbox page for me (Ganaram) to test out a few things before deploying things. (Expect some mess.)

Sandbox for proposed templates

This article or section contains multiple idiosyncratic terms. Such terms are used by a small group of people or a single person and are not regularly used within the community.

TAMNAMS use

This article assumes TAMNAMS conventions for naming scale degrees, intervals, and step ratios.

Names for the scale degrees of xL ys, the position of the scales tones, are called mosdegrees, or prefixdegrees. Its intervals, the pitch difference between any two tones, are based on the number of large and small steps between them and are called mossteps, or prefixsteps. Both mosdegrees and mossteps use 0-indexed numbering, as opposed to using 1-indexed ordinals, such as mos-1st instead of 0-mosstep. The use of 1-indexed ordinal names is discouraged for nondiatonic MOS scales.

JI ratio intro

For general ratios: m/n, also called interval-name, is a p-limit just intonation ratio of exactly/about r¢.

For harmonics: m/1, also called interval-name, is a just intonation ration that represents the mth harmonic of exactly/about r¢.

MOS step sizes

3L 4s step sizes

Interval	Basic 3L 4s (10edo, L:s = 2:1)		Hard 3L 4s (13edo, L:s = 3:1)		Soft 3L 4s (17edo, L:s = 3:2)		Approx. JI ratios
	Steps	Cents	Steps	Cents	Steps	Cents
Large step	2	240¢	3	276.9¢	3	211.8¢	Hide column if no ratios given
Small step	1	120¢	1	92.3¢	2	141.2¢
Bright generator	3	360¢	4	369.2¢	5	355.6¢

Notes:

• Allow option to show the bright generator, dark generator, or no generator.
• JI ratios column only shows if there are any ratios to show
