Similar modes are grouped together. The overall progression is from sharper to flatter. However for the 5 pentatonic modes, the overall progression is from flatter to sharper. Unlike UDP notation, the generator isn't always chroma-positive.

These are written as MOS scales with chromatic alterations. To find the scale's name, first write out the genchain for the scale, which will always have gaps. Then compact it into 7 contiguous notes by altering one or more notes. There may be more than one way to do this, usually choose the method that alters as few notes as possible. Then find the name of the mode, then add the appropriate alterations.
