The mosunison and mosoctave appear as only one size, as 0L+0s and xL+ys respectively, and are referred to as perfect. All other k-mossteps produced this way should be in one of two sizes, one of the defining properties of a mos; the smaller of the two sizes is referred to as a minor k-mosstep, and the larger of the two a major k-mosstep. However, the generating intervals of a mos use the labels augmented, perfect, and diminished instead. Every mos has a pair of generators known as the bright and dark generator, and can be found using this algorithm. (Add link to algorithm). The bright generator will have a large size that's referred to as perfect and a small size that's referred to as diminished. Similarly, the dark generator will have a large size that's referred to as augmented and a small size that's referred to as perfect. These are named such because | The mosunison and mosoctave appear as only one size, as 0L+0s and xL+ys respectively, and are referred to as perfect.

Similarly, the dark generator will have a large size that's referred to as augmented and a small size that's referred to as perfect. These are named such because there will be only one mode that contains an augmented dark generator rather than a perfect dark generator, and another, different mode that contains a diminished bright generator rather than a perfect bright generator. In other words, across all modes, the generators will appear as one size in all but one mode each, hence the generators' designation as perfect. | ||
