* In '''[[figured bass]]''', superscript and subscript may be combined, in math markup or using {{tl|su}}, <code><nowiki><math>C_6^4</math></nowiki></code> = <math>C_6^4</math>, <code><nowiki>''C''{{su|b=6|p=4}}</nowiki></code> = ''C''{{su|b=6|p=4}}; see [[Wikipedia:TeX markup]] or [[m:Help:Formula]] and [[Template:su]].
*A '''superscript circle''', or '''degree sign''', which indicates a diminished chord, that may not display correctly for everyone, "°", can be produced by typing <code>&amp;deg;</code>, <code>&amp;#176</code>, or (on Windows PCs) Alt+0176. A superscript lower case "<sup>o</sup>" (<code><nowiki><sup>o</sup></nowiki></code>) may be used instead. The slashed o, "<sup>ø</sup>", which may not display correctly for all readers, is produced by superscripting the character produced by typing <code>&amp;oslash;</code> or <code>&amp;#248;</code>, or by keying Alt+0248.
*For '''inversions''' and the '''degree sign''' superscript and subscript may be done thus: <code><nowiki>vii<sup>o</sup></nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>I<sub>6</sub></nowiki></code>. This looks like: {{xt|vii<sup>o</sup>}}, {{xt|I<sub>6</sub>}}.
