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¢.

Encoding scheme for module:mos

Mossteps as a vector of L's and s's

For an arbitrary step sequence consisting of L's and s's, the sum of the quantities of L's and s's denotes what mosstep it is. EG, "LLLsL" is a 5-mosstep since it has 5 L's and s's total. This can be expressed as a vector denoting how many L's and s's there are. EG, "LLLsL" becomes { 4, 1 }, denoting 4 large steps and 1 small step.

Alterations by adding a chroma always adds one L and subtracts one s (or subtracts one L and adds one s, if lowering by a chroma), so the sum of L's and s's, even if one of the quantities is negative, will always denote what k-mosstep that interval is. EG, raising "LLLsL" by a chroma produces the vector { 5, 0 }, and raising it by another chroma produces the vector { 6, -1 }.

Through this, the "original size" of the interval can always be deduced.

EG, the vector { 6, -2 } is given, assuming a mos of 5L 2s. Adding 6 and -2 shows that the interval is a 4-mosstep. Taking the brightest mode of 5L 2s (LLLsLLs) and truncating it to the first 4 steps (LLLs), the corresponding vector is { 3, 1 }. This is the vector to compare to. Subtracting the given vector from the comparison vector ( as { 6-3, -2-1 }) produces the vector { 3, -3 }, meaning that { 6, -2 } is the large 4-mosstep raised by 3 chromas. (A shortcut can be employed by simply subtracting only the L-values.) The decoding scheme below shows how the "large 4-mosstep plus 3 chromas" can be decoded into more familiar terms. In this example, since the large 4-mosstep is the perfect bright generator, adding 3 chromas makes it triply augmented.

Encoding scheme

Value	Encoded		Decoded
	Intervals with 2 sizes	Intervals with 1 size	Nonperfectable intervals	Bright gen	Dark gen	Period intervals
2	Large plus 2 chromas	Perfect plus 2 chromas	2× Augmented	2× Augmented	3× Augmented	2× Augmented
1	Large plus 1 chroma	Perfect plus 1 chroma	Augmented	Augmented	2× Augmented	Augmented
0	Large	Perfect	Major	Perfect	Augmented	Perfect
-1	Small	Perfect minus 1 chroma	Minor	Diminished	Perfect	Diminished
-2	Small minus 1 chroma	Perfect minus 2 chromas	Diminished	2× Diminished	Diminished	2× Diminished
-3	Small minus 2 chromas	Perfect minus 3 chromas	2× Diminished	3× Diminished	2× Diminished	3× Diminished

Rationale:

• Vectors of L's and s's can always be translated back to the original k-mosstep, no matter how many chromas were added. The "unmodified" vector (the large k-mosstep, or perfect k-mosstep for period intervals) can be compared with the mosstep vector to produce the number of chromas.
  • Alterations by entire large steps or small steps is considered interval arithmetic.

• Easy to translate values to number of chromas for mos notation. Best done with notation assigned to the brightest mode, but can be adapted for arbitrary notations by adjusting the approprite chroma offsets.
