	Like all [[MOS]] scales, tunings of Mosh can be placed into two categories: soft and hard. Soft tunings have a generator between 2\7 (343c) and 3\10 (360c), while hard tunings have a generator between 3\10 (360c) and 1\4 (400c). Notice that soft tunings are structured such that two generators will always make a [[Diatonic#MOS diatonic\|diatonic]] fifth, whereas hard tunings ~~explicitly do not~~; this creates a clear divide in how these two types of tunings are handled.

-In the soft tuning of Mosh, we may notice that two generators create an approximation of 3/2, and thus the generator sequence creates useful tertian chords.
+In the soft tuning of Mosh, we may notice that two generators create an approximation of 3/2, and thus the generator sequence creates useful tertian chords; on most degrees, these chords will be "neutral," splitting that fifth in half.  The minor fifth degree, on the other hand, roughly approximates 13/9, which makes the characteristic triad of the Jwl mode roughly approximate 9:11:13, and the characteristic triad of Led roughly approximates its utonal counterpart, 1/(13:11:9).  For clarity's sake, these chords will not be given new arcane names, and will simply be referred to with the names of their modes.
-Unlike in diatonic, Mosh tends to voice lead most powerfully via large steps rather than its small ones; this is because the large step (which would be a neutral second by diatonic standards) creates a soft concordance that smoothly pulls to the target tone (usually the tonic), in contrast to the small-step resolutions of diatonic which create tension that releases onto the target tone.
+Unlike in diatonic, soft Mosh does not possess clear leading tones, with the smaller of its two step sizes representing a size category between the whole tone and semitone of diatonic; this Mosh minor second step is not tense, but still creates tendency tones as its motion is sweet and concordant compared to the more sturdy and sure sound of the major second.  Because each mode of Mosh contains a minor second interval either above or below its tonic degree (with Bish uniquely having both), there is a clear path to resolution in all modes, and a means of creating secondary leading functions in melodies extended to chromatic harmony.
-From this, we can see a presently emergent paradigm for functional harmony in Soft Mosh.
+Whereas the location of the tritone in diatonic is often the clearest way to orient oneself in a mode, the "diminished third" interval of the Mosh scale is similarly a very clear way to orient oneself in a mode.  Specifically, this tension tends to resolve inwards by minor second intervals to reach a unison; this causes the degrees which form this diminished third to become important tendency tones.

Like all [[MOS]] scales, tunings of Mosh can be placed into two categories: soft and hard. Soft tunings have a generator between 2\7 (343c) and 3\10 (360c), while hard tunings have a generator between 3\10 (360c) and 1\4 (400c). Notice that soft tunings are structured such that two generators will always make a [[Diatonic#MOS diatonic|diatonic]] fifth, whereas hard tunings explicitly do not; this creates a clear divide in how these two types of tunings are handled.

The qualities of scale degrees in soft and hard Mosh can be compared to diatonic qualities with neutral, augmented, and diminished intervals:
