A mode with 10 scores of "4" out of 50 possible scores would be annotated as 4S1U1B1(.20)S1U1B0.

In this notation, "4" represents the score that is the mode, "S" represents the count of scores, "U" represents the base unit, and "B" represents the index base.

So, in this case, the count of scores is 10, the base unit is 1, and the index base is 50 (since there are 50 possible scores). The proportion of N scores falling on the mode is calculated by dividing the count of scores by N, which gives 10/50 = 0.20. This proportion is represented by the notation "(.20)". Finally, there are no scores higher or lower than the mode, so "S1U1B0" is used to represent this.
