The easiest way to name the modes of a mos, without having to memorize any names, is to refer to them by their [[Modal UDP notation|UDP]], described below: | The easiest way to name the modes of a mos, without having to memorize any names, is to refer to them by their [[Modal UDP notation|UDP]], described below: | ||
* For single-period mosses, the UDP is notated as ''u''|''p'', where ''u'' is the number of bright generators stacked ''above'' the tonic, ''d'' is the number of bright generators stacked ''below'' the tonic, and "|" is pronounced as "pipe".

* For multi-period mosses with ''p'' periods, the UDP of is notated as ''up''|''dp''(''p''). Since there are generators being stacked above and below every mosperiod - not just the tonic - there are in total ''u times p'' and ''d times p'' generators being stacked above and below their respective starting pitches. The full name in this case is '''xL ys up|dp(p)'''. | * For multi-period mosses with ''p'' periods, the UDP of is notated as ''up''|''dp''(''p'').
