The simplest and most straightforward way to refer to [[MOS scale]]s is by using the format #L#s, directly specifying the number of large steps (#L) and the number of small steps (#s). | The simplest and most straightforward way to refer to [[MOS scale]]s is by using the format #L#s, directly specifying the number of large steps (#L) and the number of small steps (#s). | ||

The following is an attempt at a standardized 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, as well as some of the names (such as "mish" and "mosh") from [[Graham Breed]]'s names below. Some are directly taken from an arbitrary temperament that generates the scale, 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]]. | The following is an attempt at a standardized set of temperament-agnostic names for octave-equivalent MOS scales of sizes between 6 and 10.
