===Naming mos chords===

To denote a chord or a mode on a given degree, write the chord or the mode in parentheses after the degree symbol. The most explicit option is to write out the chord in cents, edosteps or mossteps (e.g. in [[13edo]] [[5L 3s]], the 0-369-646 chord can be written 0-4-7\13, P0ms-M2ms-M4ms or 7|0 0-2-4ms) and to write the mode. To save space, you can use whatever names or abbreviations for the chord or mode you have defined for the reader. For example, in the LsLLsLLs mode of 5L 3s, we have m2md(0-369-646), or the chord 0-369-646 on the 2-mosdegree which is a minor 2-mosstep. The LsLLsLLs mode also has m2md(7|), meaning that we have the 7| (LLsLLsLs) mode on the 2-mosdegree which is a minor 2-mosstep in LsLLsLLs (see [[TAMNAMS#Proposal:%20Naming%20mos%20modes|below]] for the convention we have used to name the mode).

To analyze a chord as an inversion of another chord (i.e. when the bass is not seen as the root), one way is to write out the chord as usual in mos steps, edo steps or cents, except we put an "r" before the root to indicate that that note is whatever degree number we have written. For example, to analyze 0s-2s-6s-7s on the 7-degree of the LsLLsLLs mode as being rooted on its 6s (thus on the 5-degree), we write 5d(0s-2s-r6s-7s). If clarity is desired as to what the root position chord is, slash notation can be used as in conventional notation. Thus the above chord can be written 5d(0s-1s-2s-4s)/7d.
