Template:MOS gamut/doc
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. If not simplified, then the ratio is automatically simplified. If left blank, then then step ratio 2/1 is used by default. |
| Bright Gens Up | No (optional) | The number of bright generators going up needed to produce the mode for which notation is applied. If a mode is denoted using its UDP (up|dp), this is the value up (u times p). If left blank, then the brightest mode is used by default. |
| Note Symbols | No (optional) | A string of note symbols, such as CDEFGAB (for standard notation) and JKLMNOP (for diamond-MOS notation). This should be entered as a string, where one character is one note name. If left blank, then standard notation (for 5L 2s) or diamond-MOS notation (for anything else) is used by default. |
| Sharp Symbol | No (optional) | The symbol used to denote raising by a chroma, usually a sharp (#) or diamond-MOS's am/amp symbol (&). If left blank, then either # or & is used by default. |
| Flat Symbol | No (optional) | The symbol used to denote lowering by a chroma, usually a flat (b) or diamond-MOS's at symbol (@). If left blank, then either b or @ is used by default. |
Usage
The typical use of this template is for describing a mos's gamut, the set of named notes, with accidentals.
{{MOS gamut}}
Using a different scale signature
If desired, a different scale signature can be entered as shown below.
{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 2L 5s}}
J, K, K&/L@, L, M, N, O, O&/P@, P, J
Examples
An example of this template's usage can be shown using Armodue notation (used for 7L 2s) and Lambda notation (used for 3/1-equivalent 4L 5s).
{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 7L 2s|Bright Gens Up = 7|Note Symbols = 123456789|Sharp Symbol = #|Flat Symbol = b}}
J, J&/K@, K, K&/L@, L, M, M&/N@, N, N&/O@, O, O&/P@, P, Q, Q&/R@, R, R&/J@, J
{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 4L 5s (3/1-equivalent)|Bright Gens Up = 5|Note Symbols = CDEFGHJAB|Sharp Symbol = #|Flat Symbol = b}}
J, K, K&/L@, L, M, M&/N@, N, O, O&/P@, P, Q, Q&/R@, R, J
Limitations
This template currently cannot handle accidentals any smaller than a sharp or flat (such as ups and downs). An example of this is 5L 2s in 24edo, with a step ratio is 4/2. In such cases, the step ratio is simplified and a simpler gamut is shown.
{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 5L 2s|Step Ratio = 4/2}}
J, J&/K@, K, L, L&/M@, M, M&/N@, N, N&/O@, O, P, P&/J@, J
This template can accept equalized step ratios, but currently not collapsed step ratios.
{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 5L 2s|Step Ratio = 1/0}}
J, K/L, M, N, O/P, J
