Diamond-mos notation: Difference between revisions

== Motivation ==

So far all common microtonal notation schemes have been diatonic-based (e.g. ups and downs ~~for edos~~, [[Sagittal]], [[FJS]]). While these existing systems are useful in many contexts, they don't accommodate the logic of non-diatonic mos scales easily, requiring multiple accidentals to write these scales.

While these existing systems are useful in many contexts, they don't accommodate the logic of non-diatonic mos scales easily, requiring multiple accidentals to write these scales.

Diamond-mos notation is designed specifically to visually represent mos logic for compositions using mosses and to be generalizable across different mos patterns. It does not attempt to be a universal system that represents every microtonal theoretical school. It attempts to be back-compatible with standard notation and keep new symbols and memorization required to a minimum. In addition, diamond-mos includes visual aids and redundancies to make reading music in unfamiliar systems easier.
