Template:MOS modes/doc

Arguments

The template currently supports the following arguments:

Argument	Required?	Description
Tuning	Yes (optional on mos pages)	The mos pattern in the form "xL ys" (for 2/1-equivalent mosses), "xL ys<p/q>" or "xL ys⟨p/q⟩" (for non-2/1 mosses), or "xL ys (p/q-equivalent)" (if the tuning is specified in the page's title). If left blank, then the page's title will be used instead.
ModeNames	No (optional)	A list of names delimited using semicolons. The number of names must match the number of modes or names will not be added. If the tuning is "5L 2s", then mode names (Lydian, Ionian, etc) are automatically added.

Typical use

For most mos pages, simply include the code below. If included on any other page, a tuning must be specified.

{{MOS modes}}

Usage with a different tuning

To specify a tuning, include it as shown below. Non-octave tunings are supported.

{{MOS modes|Tuning=5L 3s}}

{{MOS modes|Tuning=4L 5s <3/1>}}

Usage with mode names

Names for each mode are separated by semicolons, as shown below. A mode may have multiple names or a name consisting of multiple words.

{{MOS modes|Tuning=5L 3s|ModeNames=Dylathian, Dylian; Ilarnekian; Celephaïsian; Ultharian; Mnarian; Kadathian, Kadian; Hlanithian, Hlanian; Sarnathian, Sarnian, Sarn}}

{{MOS modes|Tuning=4L 5s <3/1>|ModeNames=Walker I; Walker II; Moll I (Delta); Lambda; Moll II (Pierce); Harmonic; Dur I; Walker A; Walker B}}

To-do

• Some mos pages have more than one set of names. This currently is not supported.
