To analyze a chord as an inversion of another chord (i.e. when the bass is not seen as the root), the following strategies can be used:

# One can write the root degree first: (6s, 0s, 2s, 7s).

# One can write the root degree first: (6s, 0s, 2s, 7s). The first degree is assumed to be the tonic unless the following method is used:

# One can write t to the left of the tonic: (0s, 2s, t6s, 7s).

# One can use 0 for the root, using negative numbers for notes below the root. 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 of LsLLsLLs), we write 5d(0s, -6s, -4s, 1s). The "5d" here is essential for avoiding confusion with the previous notation.

# 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.
