* The pattern continues, ddd for triply diminished and AAA for triply augmented. Note that applying this operation more than 3 times is an unlikely usecase, and a shorthand notaton of d^3 and A^3 or an alternative notation or terminology entirely would likely be preferable in such circumstances, hence repetition of the corresponding letter is a sufficient system.

== Naming mos degrees ==

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). Just like for mos interval names, we use 0-indexing, so the perfect 0-mosdegree is the tonic. 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. Modifiers can be omitted when clear from context.

~~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.
