User:Frostburn/TAMNAMS Extension

This is a proposed systematic extension for the TAMNAMS MOS scale naming system based on parent / grandparent relationships. It's intended for a user interface so that every MOS pattern has a memorable name.

Diatonic family

This system introduces the following names for (grand)daughters of diatonic 5L 2s.

Diatonic family tree

Daughters

17L 12s	antipythagotonic
19L 12s	fauxarabian	One possible generator is double of neutral third 11/9 while the scale still sounds neutral
12L 19s	fauxrussian	Faux-cyrilic font is the "opposite" of faux-arabic
17L 5s	gothitonic	Possible generator 128/85 falls in the Neo-Gothic range
5L 17s	reinhardic	Possible generator 50/33 is similar to 5edo's fifth (Reinhard notation)
19L 7s	velic	Possible generator 112/75 is called the marvelous fifth
7L 19s	antivelic
Great-great-granddaughters
Pattern	Name	Notes
12L 29s	pygiedraitic	Generator is 3/2 resulting in 41 notes similar to Kite Giedraitis' guitar.
Great-great-great-granddaughters
Pattern	Name	Notes
41L 12s	pythomerc	Generator is 3/2. Transitional scale between ones dominated by pythagorean and mercator commas.

(Grand) Daughter MOS naming system

Daughter MOS scale names are derived from the parent MOS's soft version as (prefix)mechromic (short for meantone-analogue chromatic) and the hard version as (prefix)pechromic ((super)pyth-analogue chromatic).

Grand daughter MOS scale names are derived from the grand parent MOS's supersoft, semisoft, semihard and superhard versions and denoted (prefix)fenharmic (flattone analogue enhramonic), (prefix)menharmic (meantone analogue), (prefix)penharmic (pythagorean analogue), (prefix)senharmic (sharp superpyth analogue).
