==Naming mos intervals==

Mos intervals are ~~denoted by~~ the number of ~~'''mossteps'''~~ they subtend. An interval that is k mossteps wide is called a ''k-mosstep interval'', or simply a ''k-mosstep'' (abbreviated ''k''ms). Mos intervals are 0-indexed, meaning that the unison is denoted as a 0-mosstep, rather than a 1-mosstep.

Mos intervals are generally named after the number of steps (large or small) they subtend.

The term "mosstep" can be further shortened to "step" if context allows.

Line 220:

===Specific mos intervals===

Specific mos intervals denote the specific sizes an interval has. Per the definition of a moment of symmetry scale (that is, maximum variety 2), every interval, except for the root and multiples of the period, has a large and small size.

The phrase ''k-mosstep'' by itself does not specify the exact size of an interval. To refer to specific intervals, the familiar modifiers of ''major'', ''minor'', ''augmented'', ''diminished'' and ''perfect'' are used. As mosses have [[maximum variety]] 2, every interval (except for the [[1/1|unison]] and multiples of the [[period]] which is usually the [[2/1|octave]]) will be in no more than two sizes.
