Template:MOS intervals/doc

Parameters

The following parameters are supported:

Parameter	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.
MOS Prefix	No (optional)	The prefix for the mos, if it has one. The scale's TAMNAMS prefix will be used if left blank; otherwise, it will default to "mos".
MOS Abbrev	No (optional)	The abbreviation for the mos, if it has one. The scale's TAMNAMS abbreviation will be used if left blank; otherwise, it will default to "m".
Interval Notation	Deprecated	The scheme for naming intervals. Options include TAMNAMS mosstep naming and ordinal naming (EG, the unison is either called the 0-mosstep or 1st).

Usage

The typical use of this template is for showing a mos's interval varieties and their qualities.

Using a different scale signature

A scale signature different from the page's title can be entered as shown.
