To denote degrees in a given mos (or altered mos) mode, we use the term ''k-mosdegree'', abbreviated as ''k''md (or ''k-degree'' and ''k''d if context allows). Just like for mos interval names, we use 0-indexing, so 0-mosdegree is the tonic. | To denote degrees in a given mos (or altered mos) mode, we use the term ''k-mosdegree'', abbreviated as ''k''md (or ''k-degree'' and ''k''d if context allows).

When unmodified, kmd always denotes the kth mosdegree in the current mos mode. If necessary, the modifiers ''minor'', ''major'', ''augmented'' and ''diminished'' can be used: for example, ''minor 3-mosdegree'' (m3md) denotes the degree that lies a minor 3-mosstep above the tonic. | When unmodified, kmd always denotes the kth mosdegree in the current mos mode. If necessary, the modifiers ''perfect'', ''minor'', ''major'', ''augmented'' and ''diminished'' can be used just like for mos interval names: for example, ''minor 3-mosdegree'' (m3md) denotes the degree that lies a minor 3-mosstep above the tonic. | ||
To denote a chord or a mode on a given degree, write the chord or the mode in parentheses after the degree symbol. Either write out the chord in cents or mossteps, or use whatever names or abbreviations you have defined for the chord or mode. | To denote a chord or a mode on a given degree, write the chord or the mode in parentheses after the degree symbol.
