'''Modal UDP notation''' is a way to uniquely specify a particular [[Periodic_scale#Definition-Rotations|rotation]], i.e. mode, of a [[MOS scale]]. Its name is derived from "up|down(period)", abbreviated as U|D(P). If accidentals are specified, it can also be used with [[MODMOS scale]]s. | '''Modal UDP notation''' is a way to uniquely specify a particular [[Periodic_scale#Definition-Rotations|rotation]], i.e. mode, of a [[MOS scale]].
