I can't seem to get into the conference today, but after sleeping on this, 
my new thinking is that option (A) might be the best option (essentially 
leave things the way they are currently), but rename "MSn spectrum" as 
"N-th generation product ion spectrum" (with "product ion" making it clear 
that this term only really makes sense for N >= 2).
