'''Quasi-diatonic MOS notation''' (QDMN) is a [[EDO vs ET#Temperament-agnostic EDO paradigms|JI-agnostic]] microtonal notation system for [[MOS scale]]s with 4 or more notes developed by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]]. It is optimized specifically for backwards-compatibility with existing [[5L 2s|diatonic]] notation. For [[5L 2s]] it is identical to standard notation, and for [[2L 5s]] it is identical to melodic notation. | '''Quasi-diatonic MOS notation''' (QDMN) is a [[EDO vs ET#Temperament-agnostic EDO paradigms|JI-agnostic]] microtonal notation system for [[MOS scale]]s with 4 or more notes developed by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]].

The note name ABC... are used as the naturals for every MOS and repeat at the MOS's [[equave]]. A is fixed to 440 Hz and the mode starting on D is fixed to be the "middle" mode, defined as ceil((n-1)/2)|floor((n-1)/2) for n tones in [[UDP notation]] (for example this is 2|2 for 5 tones, 3|2 for 6 tones, 3|3 for 7 tones, 4|3 for 8 tones, and 4|4 for 9 tones). | The note name ABC... are used as the naturals for every MOS and repeat at the MOS's [[equave]].
