== Notation ==
This article uses [[diamond MOS notation]], with the convention JKLMNOPQR = LLSLSLSLS and pitch standard J = C4 = 261.6255653 Hz. The accidentals & and @ are used for raising and lowering by the chroma = L − S, respectively.
== Tuning ranges ==
=== Semaphore ===
We view [[semaphore]] as any 5L 4s tuning where two [[semifourth]] generators make a ''diatonic'' ([[5L 2s]]) fourth, i.e. any tuning where the semifourth is between 1\5 (240¢) or 3\14 (257.14¢). One important sub-range of semaphore is given by stipulating that two semifourth generators must make a ''meantone'' fourth; i.e. that four fifths should approximate a [[5/4]] major third. This is supported by [[19edo]] (4\19), [[24edo]] (5\24), [[43edo]] (9\43), and [[62edo]] (13\62).
The sizes of the generator, large step and small step of 5L 4s are as follows in various semaphore tunings.

For convenience's sake, we view [[bug]] as any 5L 4s tuning where two [[semifourth]] generators make a ''superdiatonic'' ([[7L 2s]]) fourth, i.e. any tuning where the semifourth is between 3\14 (257.14¢) and 2\9 (266.67¢). [[23edo]]'s 5\23 (260.87¢) is an example of a bug generator.

One can think of 5L 4s modes as being built from two pentachords (division of the perfect fourth into four intervals) plus a whole tone. The possible pentachords are LsLs, sLLs, and sLsL.
