Question: number MODMOS modes by position in compacted or uncompacted genchain?
Question: number MODMOS modes by position in compacted or uncompacted genchain?
Question: resolve the ambiguity for MODMOS mode numbers?
Question: resolve the ambiguity for MODMOS mode numbers?
Question: use scale-based numbering, not genchain-based numbering?


**Mode numbers** provide a way to name MOS, MODMOS and even non-MOS rank-2 scales and modes systematically. Like [[xenharmonic/Modal UDP notation|Modal UDP notation]], it starts with the convention of using //some-temperament-name//[//some-number//] to create a generator-chain, and adds a way to number each mode uniquely. For example, here are all the modes of Meantone[7], using ~3/2 as the generator:
