Module:TAMNAMS

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This module primarily serves as a library for other modules and has no corresponding template.

This module is designed to handle TAMNAMS as it pertains to MOS scales. It is meant to be used with other modules, rather than something invoked directly or as part of a template.
