Diamond-mos notation is based in a specific edo at a given time, written at the top of the score. Within that edo, the naturals on the staff represent a specific mos. The mos pattern is written in edosteps at the top of the score, e.g. “33133131”. The natural staff notes are the specific mode written, starting from middle C.

Diamond-mos notation is based in a specific edo or other tuning at a given time, written at the top of the score. Within that edo, the naturals on the staff represent a specific mos. The mos pattern is written in edosteps at the top of the score, e.g. “33133131”. The natural staff notes are the specific mode written, starting from middle C.

Diamond-mos notation treats the diatonic mos ([[5L 2s]]) as special. If you’re using 5L 2s, diamond-mos looks like standard music notation. It uses standard clefs, #/b accidentals, and ABCDEFG note names. If you're using 5L 2s, you don't need to write the mos pattern on the score, only the edo. If the edo you’re using has 5L 2s, its notes can be used as an unchanging reference other mosses can be compared against. For example, you might say “P@ = Bb” to provide a reference for which note P@ is.
