It is acceptable to treat equal scales (sub-edos of the edo used for notation) as mosses for notation in diamond-mos, for example 9edo in 18edo. In that case, &/@ have no meaning and are disallowed. There are also no boxes on the staff.

It is acceptable to use 5L 2s-based notation even for edos where the best fifth is 4\7 or 3\5. This is for consistency with existing microtonal notation that allows this. In the case of 4\7, #/b technically alter notes by zero edosteps, so they’re disallowed. Equalized and paucitonic tunings are only allowed for 5L 2s, not other mosses.

It is possible to use non-octave equal tunings and non-octave mosses with diamond-mos. In this case, the diamonds mark the structural [[equave]] (the period or occasionally a multiple of the period). JKL note names repeat at this same equave. Explicitly write out what this equave is along with the tuning and mos pattern.
