Playing Modern Standard American if responder bids 1NT he is showing 6 to 9/10 hcp but if he bids 2NT he is showing 13 to 15 hcp. What is he showing if he bids 2NT for his second response? For example:
1♣: 1♦:
2♣: 2NT
And is this forcing?

I usually play direct 2nt is 10-12. But I'd still imagine this is nf 10-12, possibly 3352 or 3361 or (34)51 shapes.

You give the range of a 1NT response and of a 2NT direct response. That leaves 11-12 in between the two; you answered your own question, and if your opening bids are like ours, and not ROTH STONE, then the 2NT rebid on that auction is not forcing.

It's not forcing, invitational. I play pard for 11 and base my decision on marginal hands on my help for a source of tricks in ♦ (ie. Kx) or running the ♣ with a bit of help (ie. AJT9xx).
If pard has 10 or 12, they think it's worth 11.

I think that it is fair to say that in any "natural" system , all 2NT bids are natural non-forcing and invitational , except if :
1. A Game Force has already been established before the 2NT bid.
or
2. A specific agreement exists for 2NT in a particular sequence.

I play this as an invite. Weak hands just pass and strong hands have other bids available.

Could you give a link to this Modern Standard American you mentioned?
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
