This is a sandbox page for me (Ganaram) to test out a few things before deploying things. (Expect some mess.)

Sandbox for proposed templates

Expanded MOS intro

The following pieces of information may be worth adding:

• Distinguishing between TAMNAMS names from other, noteworthy non-TAMNAMS names. Equave-agnostic names can be treated as TAMNAMS name for appropriate mosses (EG, 4L 1s).
• The specific step pattern for the true mos. (The template will have a link to the page for rotations.)
• Simple edos (or ed<p/q>) that support the mos.
• Support for TAMEX names, or how the mos relates to another, ancestral TAMNAMS-named mos. Extensions include chromatic, enharmonic, subchromatic, and descendant. This requires standardizing the naming scheme for descendant mosses before it can be added.
  • TAMEX is short for temperament-agnostic moment-of-symmetry scale extension naming system.
• Whether the mos exhibits Rothenberg propriety.

Base wording

xL ys<p/q>, named mosname (also called alt-mosname), is a(n) equave-equivalent moment-of-symmetry scale containing x large steps(s) and y small step(s), repeating every equave. Modes of this scale are based on the step pattern of step-pattern. Equal divisions of the equave that support this scale include basic-ed, hard-ed, and soft-ed. Generators that produce this scale range from g1¢ to g2¢, or from d1¢ or d2¢.

nxL nys<p/q>, named mosname (also called alt-mosname), is a(n) equave-equivalent moment-of-symmetry scale, containing nx large steps(s) and ny small step(s), with a period of x large step(s) and y small steps(s) that repeats every equave-fraction, or n times every equave. Modes of this scale are based on the step pattern of step-pattern. Equal divisions of the equave that support this scale include basic-ed, hard-ed, and soft-ed. Generators that produce this scale range from g1¢ to g2¢, or from d1¢ or d2¢.

Supplemental info

For monosmall and monosmall-per-period mosses: Scales of this form always exhibit Rothenberg propriety because there is only one small step per period.

For mosses that descend from a TAMNAMS-named mos: xL ys<p/q> is a kth-order descendant scale of zL ws<p/q>, an extension of zL ws<p/q> scales with a step-ratio-range step ratio.

Examples

5L 7s, also called p-chromatic, is an octave-equivalent moment of symmetry scale containing 5 large steps and 7 small steps, repeating every octave. 5L 7s is a chromatic scale of 5L 2s, an extension of 5L 2s scales with a hard-of-basic step ratio. Equal divisions of the octave that support this scale's step pattern include 17edo, 22edo, and 29edo. Generators that produce this scale range from 700¢ to 720¢, or from 480¢ to 500¢.
