Notation: remove enharmonics of naturals for better readability
Move modes section up and add udp notation

There are also other temperaments in the 4L 3s range, particularly [[amity]] and [[myna]], but 7 notes in the generator chain are not enough to contain the most concordant chords in these temperaments; you would need to use a [[MODMOS]] or use a larger MOS gamut.-->

The notation used in this article is LsLsLsL = JKLMNOPJ unless specified otherwise. We denote raising and lowering by a chroma (L − s) by & "amp" and @ "at". (Mnemonics: & "and" means additional pitch. @ "at" rhymes with "flat".)
