# Every interordinal interval of the parent MOS bL(a − b)s{{angbr|E}} of basic aLbs{{angbr|E}} excluding 0×1ms and (a+b−1)×(a+b)ms is a neutral or semiperfect interval of basic aLbs{{angbr|E}}. | # Every interordinal interval of the parent MOS bL(a − b)s{{angbr|E}} of basic aLbs{{angbr|E}} excluding 0×1ms and (a+b−1)×(a+b)ms is a neutral or semiperfect interval of basic aLbs{{angbr|E}}. | ||
# Except the neutral/semiperfect 1-step and the neutral/semiperfect (a + b − 1)-step, every neutral or semiperfect interval of basic aLbs{{angbr|E}} is a proper interordinal of bL(a − b)s{{angbr|E}}. The number (b − 1) counts the places in 2(2a + b)edE (twice the basic MOS tuning for aLbs{{angbr|E}}) where the parent's interordinal is improper, being two steps away, instead of one step away, from each of the adjacent ordinal categories. | # Except the neutral/semiperfect 1-step and the neutral/semiperfect (a + b − 1)-step, every neutral or semiperfect interval of basic aLbs{{angbr|E}} is a proper interordinal of bL(a − b)s{{angbr|E}}.
