User:Frostburn/TAMNAMS Extension

This page is obsole! Mean-enharmonic should be swapped with flat-enharmonic, but I didn't have the code ready to re-generate the tables when this issue was raised. This is a systematic extension for the TAMNAMS MOS scale naming system based on parent / grandparent relationships. It's intended for a user interface so that every MOS pattern has a memorable name.

Diatonic family

This system introduces the following names for (grand)daughters of diatonic 5L 2s.

Great-granddaughters
Pattern Name Notes
12L 17s pythagotonic Generator is 3/2. Small step is the Pythagorean comma
17L 12s gothitonic Generator falls in the neo-gothic range.
19L 12s fauxarabian One possible generator is double of neutral third 11/9 while the scale still sounds neutral
12L 19s fauxrussian Faux-cyrilic font is the "opposite" of faux-arabic
17L 5s protofractalic Daughter scales exhibit fractal-like acoustic effects
5L 17s reinhardic Possible generator 50/33 is similar to 5edo's fifth (Reinhard notation)
19L 7s velic Possible generator 112/75 is called the marvelous fifth
7L 19s siskoic Play on words: Veli means brother in Finnish and sisko means sister.

Great-great-great-granddaughters
Pattern Name Notes
12L 41s antipythomerc
41L 12s pythomerc Generator is 3/2. Transitional scale between ones dominated by pythagorean and mercator commas.

Woods

Trivial multi-MOS scales of n periods are named n-wood or spelled out resulting in: hexawood, septawood, octawood, nonawood and decawood.

Daughter scales

The system introduces stems derived from the prefixes of select MOS scales under 10 notes. If the parent of a basic MOS scale is hard the name is (stem)pechromic (analogous to pyth-chromatic). If the parent of a basic MOS scale is soft the name is (stem)mechromic (analogous to mean-chromatic).

Granddaughter scales

Granddaughters are analogues of mean-enharmonic, flat-enharmonic, pyth-enharmonic and supy-enharmonic.

Basic granddaughter scales
Grandparent step-ratio Name scheme
4:3 (stem)menharmic
5:3 (stem)fenharmic
5:2 (stem)penharmic
4:1 (stem)senharmic

Great-granddaughter scales

Great-granddaughters derive names from the hardness of the great-grandparent scale e.g. minisoft becomes miso.

Basic great-granddaughter scales
Great-grandparent step-ratio Name scheme
5:4 uso-(stem)tonic
7:5 paso-(stem)tonic
8:5 quso-(stem)tonic
7:4 miso-(stem)tonic
7:3 miha-(stem)tonic
8:3 quha-(stem)tonic
7:2 paha-(stem)tonic
5:1 uha-(stem)tonic

Trollic

Trollic is a name given to 12L 1s by Godtone, but in order to troll even further the name is given to 13L 1s instead.

Liesic

The scheme would run out of names at 17-notes so liesic is a name given to 2L 15s based on liese temperament to patch one more hole.

Giedraitic

Giedraitic is a name given to 19L 3s in honor of the basic magic layout of Kite Giedraitis' guitar. The prefix/stem kai comes from Kite's first name /kaɪt/ with the last /t/ removed. The anti-giedratic MOS is given the name zheligowskic in reference to Lucjan Żeligowski leading fights against the town of Giedraičiai.
