Diamond-mos notation: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

The mos pattern is marked on the score too. Just to the right of the diamonds, little boxes mark the steps of the mos. Hollow boxes represent small mossteps (s) and filled boxes represent large mossteps (L). To avoid clutter, only the small mossteps or the large mossteps are marked. The ones which get marked are the ones the mos has fewer of. (In the case of nL ns mosses, either is fine.) The boxes are another tool to make reading the score easier.

The staff can be extended up and down to have more than 5 lines when using non-heptatonic mos notation. You should use as many staff lines as is required to fit an octave in the staff. When extra staff lines are used, at least one of the staff lines should be bolded. This doesn't add information but helps with readability.
