Template:MOS modes/doc

Parameters

The template currently supports the following 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.
Mode Names	No (optional)	A list of names delimited using semicolons. If provided, then a column for modes names are added. If the scale signature is "5L 2s", then mode names (Lydian, Ionian, etc) are automatically added.
Table Headers	No (optional)	A list of column headers delimited using semicolons, if more than one column of information is needed. If either this or the parameter Entries are left blank, no columns are added.
Table Entries	No (optional)	A list of entries delimited using semicolons, if more than one column of information is needed. There must be as many entries as there are as headers multiplied by modes, or no columns will be added. If either this or the Headers parameter are left blank, no columns are added.

Usage

For mos pages, which is the typical use, simply include the code below.

{{MOS modes}}

Using a different scale signature

To specify a scale signature different from the title of the page, include it as shown below. Non-octave mosses are supported, as are multi-period mosses.

{{MOS modes|Scale Signature=5L 3s}}

Modes of 5L 3s

UDP	Cyclic order	Step pattern
7|0	1	LLsLLsLs
6|1	4	LLsLsLLs
5|2	7	LsLLsLLs
4|3	2	LsLLsLsL
3|4	5	LsLsLLsL
2|5	8	sLLsLLsL
1|6	3	sLLsLsLL
0|7	6	sLsLLsLL

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

Modes of 4L 5s⟨3/1⟩

UDP	Cyclic order	Step pattern
8|0	1	LsLsLsLss
7|1	3	LsLsLssLs
6|2	5	LsLssLsLs
5|3	7	LssLsLsLs
4|4	9	sLsLsLsLs
3|5	2	sLsLsLssL
2|6	4	sLsLssLsL
1|7	6	sLssLsLsL
0|8	8	ssLsLsLsL

{{MOS modes|Scale Signature=4L 6s}}

Modes of 4L 6s

UDP	Cyclic order	Step pattern
8|0(2)	1	LsLssLsLss
6|2(2)	3	LssLsLssLs
4|4(2)	5	sLsLssLsLs
2|6(2)	2	sLssLsLssL
0|8(2)	4	ssLsLssLsL

Adding mode names

Names for each mode are separated by semicolons, as shown below. A mode may have multiple names (such as with 5L 3s) or a name consisting of multiple words (such as with the mode names described by Elaine Walker for 4L 5s <3/1>). The number of mode names must match the number of modes the mos has, or the column won't be added.

{{MOS modes|Scale Signature=5L 3s|Mode Names=Dylathian, Dylian; Ilarnekian; Celephaïsian; Ultharian; Mnarian; Kadathian, Kadian; Hlanithian, Hlanian; Sarnathian, Sarnian}}

Modes of 5L 3s

UDP	Cyclic order	Step pattern
7|0	1	LLsLLsLs
6|1	4	LLsLsLLs
5|2	7	LsLLsLLs
4|3	2	LsLLsLsL
3|4	5	LsLsLLsL
2|5	8	sLLsLLsL
1|6	3	sLLsLsLL
0|7	6	sLsLLsLL

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

Modes of 4L 5s⟨3/1⟩

UDP	Cyclic order	Step pattern
8|0	1	LsLsLsLss
7|1	3	LsLsLssLs
6|2	5	LsLssLsLs
5|3	7	LssLsLsLs
4|4	9	sLsLsLsLs
3|5	2	sLsLsLssL
2|6	4	sLsLssLsL
1|7	6	sLssLsLsL
0|8	8	ssLsLsLsL

Adding multiple columns

In situations where more than one column is needed, list the headers and entries as shown below. Entries are filled in by row. The two examples show mode names added in two ways – using Mode Names and Entries – so both examples produce the same table.

{{MOS modes|Scale Signature=6L 3s|Table Headers=Mode name; Name origin|Table Entries=Zeldan; Named after Zelda; Linkan; Named after Link; Ganan, Ganondoran; Named after Ganon/Ganondorf}}

{{MOS modes|Scale Signature=6L 3s|Mode Names=Zeldan; Linkan; Ganan, Ganondoran|Table Headers=Name origin|Table Entries=Named after Zelda; Named after Link; Named after Ganon/Ganondorf}}

Modes of 6L 3s

UDP	Cyclic order	Step pattern
6|0(3)	1	LLsLLsLLs
3|3(3)	2	LsLLsLLsL
0|6(3)	3	sLLsLLsLL

Limitations

If adding table entries through the Entries parameter, blank entries cannot be entered and the table rows and headers won't be added.
