By default, the mode for which nominals are applied is the symmetric mode, corresponding to a UDP of n<nowiki>|</nowiki>n. In the case of a mos with an even number of modes and therefore two "middle" modes (n+1<nowiki>|</nowiki>n and n<nowiki>|</nowiki>n+1), the brighter of the two is used as the default instead. Since some notation schemes may use a different mode as its "default", the UDP can be changed, as shown below. (Use a comma instead of the pipe <nowiki>|</nowiki> symbol.) | By default, the mode for which nominals are applied is the symmetric mode, corresponding to a UDP of n<nowiki>|</nowiki>n.

The default is standard notation on C (for 5L 2s) and diamond-mos for any nondiatonic mosses. | The template will attempt to use default notation with a default UDP if the keyword "Default" is entered.

Alterations refer to raising scale degrees by a chroma beyond the large and small sizes of a mos. For the number of alterations added, an additional altered degree is shown from raising the large size of a scale degree and lowering the small size of a scale degree (or the perfect size for period, unison, and equaves). | Alterations refer to raising scale degrees by a chroma beyond the large and small sizes of a mos.
