'''Genchain mode numbering''' provides a way to name MOS, MODMOS and even non-MOS rank-2 scales and modes systematically. Like [[Modal UDP notation]], it starts with the convention of using ''some-temperament-name''[''some-number''] to create a generator-chain, and adds a way to number each mode uniquely. | '''Genchain mode numbering''' (GMN for short) provides a way to name MOS, MODMOS and even non-MOS rank-2 scales and modes systematically. Like [[Modal UDP notation]], it starts with the convention of using ''some-temperament-name''[''some-number''] to create a generator-chain, and adds a way to number each mode uniquely. It also applies to abstract MOS patterns like 5L 3s. | ||
