My goals for numbering the modes are to make it as simple as possible for people to identify and use the modes they're talking about. As such, desired characteristics include (1) as little knowledge needed as possible, to help the less-sophisticated user, (2) reasonably intuitive if possible, (3) easy to remember and check your own work, and therefore (3a) biased toward major being the "right" answer for meantone[7], and (4) extensibility of the method beyond MOS. | My goals for numbering the modes are to make it as simple as possible for people to identify and use the modes they're talking about.

I've created a method that uses step sizes, generally identified as s for small, M for medium, and L for large. (That would need to be extended for scales with more than three sizes of steps, of course, but the principle remains the same.) | I've created a method that uses step sizes, generally identified as s for small, M for medium, and L for large.

Once a mode 1 has been identified, each mode is counted up by steps from the root of mode 1. | |||
For example, using my method starting on C for meantone[7]: | |||
mode 1 is C major (LLsLLLs) | |||
mode 2 is D dorian (LsLLLsL) | |||
mode 3 is E phrygian (sLLLsLL) | |||
mode 4 is F lydian (LLLsLLs) | |||
mode 5 is G mixolydian (LLsLLsL) | |||
mode 6 is A minor (LsLLsLL) | |||
mode 7 is B locrian (sLLsLLL) | |||
We'll start with MOS scales. For MOS scales, we'll only have s and L steps sizes. | We'll start with MOS scales. For MOS scales, we'll only have s and L steps sizes. | ||
