The general term for large/small/central is '''magnitude'''. Only intervals have a magnitude, notes never do, and L and s never appear on the staff. A ratio's magnitude is the sum of all the monzo exponents except the first one, divided by 7, and rounded off. {{nowrap|0 {{=}} central|1 {{=}} large|2 = double large}}, etc. {{nowrap|81/64 {{=}} {{vector| -6 4 }}}}, and 4/7 rounds to 1, so {{nowrap|81/64 {{=}} Lw3}}. Similarily, {{nowrap|135/128 {{=}} {{map| -7 3 1 }}}} = Ly1. Unfortunately, magnitudes do not add up predictably like colors and degrees: {{nowrap|w2 + w2 {{=}} Lw3}}.

Bi- is only used if it shortens the name: {{nowrap|25/16 {{=}} yoyo 5th}}, not biyo 5th. Likewise with magnitudes: double-large is lala and triple-large is trila. For quadruple, etc., see [[#Exponents]].
