This mixed order scheme, specifying #H and #P, has the disadvantage that as a source leaves the horizontal, its sharpness degrades rapidly to that of the height-order. An alternative scheme, which does not have this problem, is "Complete mixed-order sets". This would also require two numbers to be specified, #H and #V, and is described at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed-order_Ambisonics#Complete_mixed-order_sets_.28.23H.23V.29 However, I don't know of anybody who has experience with decoding such sets. The most general solution, and the one I would promote, is to combine both schemes and specify three numbers, #H, #P, and #V.
