-As an example, the step pattern "LsLLsAs" is a modmos of 5L 2s, containing 3 large steps, 3 small steps, and one augmented step. The size of an augmented step is equivalent to that of a large step and chroma, and adding a chroma to a small step makes it a large step. In other words, the step pair "sA" is equivalent to that of "LL", since they have the same value in L's and s's, meaning that "LsLLsAs" is equal to 5 large steps and 2 small steps.
+Alterations by a chroma are the most common way to make a modmos. As an example, the step pattern "LsLLsAs" is a modmos of 5L 2s, containing 3 large steps, 3 small steps, and one augmented step. Since removing a chroma from a large step makes a small step, and adding a chroma to a large step makes an augmented step, the step sequence "As" and "LL" are the same size.
