I see this asked many times. Not really any answer. Here's how I think. Early Martin ukuleles have a single marker at 5, double at 7, and single at 10. With the first string of a uke tuned to A, the double 7th marker tells you where to be in sync with the 12th fret of a guitar. The next marker of a guitar at that point is G, or three frets up. Hence 3 up from 7 is 10, and not a marker dot at 9th fret. The same holds for a mandolin and a mandola...
