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.
