Quasi-diatonic MOS notation (QDMN) is a JI-agnostic microtonal notation system for MOS scales developed by CompactStar. It is optimized specifically for backwards-compatibility with existing diatonic notation. For 5L 2s it is identical to standard notation.
Note and interval names
The note name ABC... are used as the naturals for every MOS and repeat at the MOS's equave (skipping I and V due to Roman numerals in chord names). A4 is fixed to 440 Hz, and the scale of naturals starting on B is fixed to the MOS's darkest mode. The accidentals #/b are set to raise and lower by the chroma (L-s).
Interval names work the same way as in TAMNAMS aside from being 1-indexed (thus using moskth rather than (k-1)-mosstep).
