Clan Tartan Thread Count

[SMcCandlish]

And as stated by Figheadair the thread count will be written in a specific format using an accepted shorthand.

The thread count for the X Marks the Scot Tartan is written -

/W12, DB64, N6, DB6, N2, DB6, N4, A8, DB2, Y4/

With the "/" symbol denoting the pivot points of a half Sett.

And if written for a weaving count it would be W/6 DB64 N6 DB6 N8 LB8 DB2 Y/2

Could someone clarify a bit? I can see three ways of doing this:

1. What I think is called full-count at the pivot, meaning the color given is given in its entire width, and is not be repeated even in part after the pivot.
2. What I think is called half-count at the pivot, meaning the color given is 50% of its width, and the color is repeated upon mirroring to give the full width of it.
3. What I don't have any idea of the name of, in which the color given would be repeated in its entirety upon mirroring; I have no idea if that's even used by anyone.

I'm used to seeing thread counts in formats like this:

LB12 K4 DN48 K4 DN4 K8 DN4 K24 W48 K4 MY4

to indicate that nothing of the pivot colors is repeated. I.e., after a pivot on the medium-yellow, and another on the light-blue, it would look like:

LB12 K4 DN48 K4 DN4 K8 DN4 K24 W48 K4 MY4 K4 W48 K24 DN4 K8 DN4 K4 DN48 K4 LB12 K4 DN48 ...

So, I'm not sure what markup to use to ensure it doesn't get woven wrong. Mostly concerned with how it is represented in the tartan registries so others don't get it woven wrong, since I already have my kilt, done right. :-)
