MOS scale: Difference between revisions

Line 19:

The following is a standardized, nearly finalized set of temperament-agnostic names for octave-equivalent MOS scales of sizes between 6 and 10. Some of these come from temperament-agnostic MOS names coined by [[Igliashon Jones]] and others. Some are directly taken from temperament-based names for scales, often because the regular temperament is the only "good" or simple temperament in the range. 1L ns names are intentionally unspecific because the generator can be anywhere from the octave to to 1\(n+1)) and can better be viewed as subsets of larger MOSes, for example [[1L 6s]] as a subset of [[7L 1s]].

For referring to intervals in an unspecified MOS, ~~the prefix and abbreviation ''mos''~~ can be used~~, e.g. ''minor mosfifth'' or ''mmos5''~~.

For referring to intervals in an unspecified MOS, generic names such as "small fifth" or "large second" are typically used; these can be used to unambiguously refer to an interval in any MOS.

See [[MOS naming]] for another naming scheme. See the [[Catalog of MOS]] for a listing of MOS in the more usual Ls scheme. See also the [[pergen]]s page.
