**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. | **Mode numbers** provide a way to name MOS, MODMOS and even non-MOS rank-2 scales and modes systematically.
