 === Alternative UDP notation for filenames ===
 UDP notation is currently notated as u|d for single-period mosses, and up|dp(p) for multi-period mosses. An alternative notation, intended for use for filenames since "|" cannot be used as part of a filename, is uU dD, or upU dpD.

+=== Chord notation using mossteps ===
+For a chord built using stacked mossteps s1 and s2, the chord is referred to as an s1+s2 chord. The rules for classifying the shape of the chord are as follows:
+{| class="wikitable"
+|+
+!If the interval s1 mossteps from the root is...
+!And the interval s2 mossteps from there is...
+!Then the overall chord is
+!Which is analogous to a(n)...

+|Minor asymmetric
+|Minor chord (m3+M3)

+|the small interval
+|Small symmetric
+|Diminished chord (m3+m3)
+|}
+If the quantities of mossteps s1 and s2 are different, then the symmetric chrods are quasisymmetric instead. The interval sizes don't need to be major or minor, either; they can also be augmented, perfect, or diminished if it's a generator.
