	The melodic sound of a [[MOS]] is not just affected by the tuning of its intervals, but by the sizes of its steps. MOSes with L more similar to s sound smoother and more mellow. MOSes with L much larger than s sound jagged and dramatic. The ''step ratio'', the ratio between the sizes of L and s, is thus important to the sound of the scale.

The step ratio has also been called '''Blackwood's R''', after Easley Blackwood who described it for diatonic mosses.
