Parameters

Parameters Required? Description
Scale Signature
Yes (optional on mos pages) The mos's scale signature in the form "xL ys", or for non-octave mosses, "xL ys<p/q>", "xL ys⟨p/q⟩", or "xL ys (p/q-equivalent)". If left blank and used on a mos page, then the page's title will be used.
Step Ratio
No (optional) The step ratio of the mos, denoted as a fraction p/q and separated with a slash. If left blank, then the step ratio "2/1" is used by default.
UDP
No (optional) The UDP representing the mode for which notation is applied. Due to technical limitations, using the pipe symbol is not advised and the "," character (comma) should be used instead.
Notation
No (optional) The notation for note names, consisting of the naturals (written without separators), sharp symbol, and flat symbol, each separated by semicolons. For example, standard notation is entered as "CDEFGAB; #; b". If left blank, the default is diamond-MOS notation (JKLMNOP for naturals, & for the sharp symbol, and @ for the flat symbol), or if the scale signature is 5L 2s, the default is standard notation.
Genchain Extend
No (optional) Additional intervals corresponding to the number of additional generators going up and/or down after those represented by the UDP. This value is per period, and the default value is the number of large steps per period.
Degree Notation
No (optional) How should degrees be named? Options include TAMNAMS mosdegree naming and ordinal naming (EG, the unison is either called the 0-mosstep or 1st).
MOS Prefix
No (optional) If using TAMNAMS mosdegree naming, does the mos have a prefix?

Usage

The typical use of this template is for showing a table of scale degrees for a specific step ratio.
