Diamond-mos notation: Difference between revisions

Line 61:

The order of the accidentals of the key signature from left to right should follow the generator chain, just like how 12edo key signatures follow the circle of fifths.

=== Modmosses ===

The mos mode written on the score, and represented by the boxes, cannot be a [[modmos]]. However, there is a way to make modmos key signatures to avoid cluttering the score with accidentals. First, we write the key signature corresponding to the tonic as if the mos is not modified. This is so that you can still find the tonic just by counting the accidentals. Next, we add the modmos alterations as extra accidentals to the right of the existing ones. ~~These~~ modmos accidentals ~~have an exclamation point after them~~ to ~~indicate that they’re modifying~~ the ~~mos~~. As discussed before, all accidentals in diamond-mos completely override any preceding accidentals. This includes modmos accidentals in the key signature. [~~Show a picture of 34edo~~ D Ionian v3 v6 v7 ~~to illustrate this~~]

The mos mode written on the score, and represented by the boxes, cannot be a [[MODMOS Scales|modmos]]. However, there is a way to make modmos key signatures to avoid cluttering the score with accidentals. First, we write the key signature corresponding to the tonic as if the mos is not modified. This is so that you can still find the tonic just by counting the accidentals. Next, we add the modmos alterations as extra accidentals to the right of the existing ones. There is a dotted line between the pure mos accidentals and the modmos accidentals to improve clarity. (If the pure key signature is blank, the dotted line is just to the left of the modmos accidentals.) As discussed before, all accidentals in diamond-mos completely override any preceding accidentals. This includes modmos accidentals in the key signature.
