Naming mos degrees: clarify step/degree distinction

==Naming mos degrees==
==Naming mos degrees==
Individual mos degrees, or '''k-mosdegrees''' (abbreviated ''k''md) are based on the modifiers given to intervals using the process for naming mos intervals and alterations. Mosdegrees are 0-indexed and are enumerated starting at the 0-mosdegree, the tonic. For example, if you go up a major k-mosstep up from the root, then the mos degree reached this way is a major k-mosdegree. Much like mossteps, the prefix of mos- may also be replaced with the mos's prefix. If context allows, ''k-mosdegrees'' may also be shortened to ''k-degrees'' to allow generalization to non-mos scales. When the modifiers major/minor or augmented/perfect/diminished are omitted, they are assumed to be the unmodified degrees of the current mode.
