For a given mos xL ys, pitch classes defined by some number of mossteps from the root are assigned note names starting at N0, which is 0 mossteps from the root. If two pitches, reached by going up or down some quantity of mossteps, have the same remainder when divided by xL+ys (which is the same as octave-reducing), then they are in the same pitch class. In this regard, a pitch Nk corresponds to and is the shorthand for the scale degree reached by going up an octave-reduced interval denoted as a quantity of mossteps iL+js that is smaller than xL+ys. | For a given mos xL ys, pitch classes defined by some number of mossteps from the root are assigned note names starting at N0, which is 0 mossteps from the root.
