In cases where there are are more than one closest modes, both the brightest and darkest closest modes are provided. This doesn't always produce the mode that one may expect; for example, melodic minor (step pattern LsLLLLs) can be thought of as the Aeolian mode with a natural-6 and natural-7, but the template calculates the closest mode to be both Dorian (UDP 3|3) or Ionian (UDP 5|1). | In cases where there are are more than one closest modes, both the brightest and darkest closest modes are provided.
