Scale Name Tradition: Named by Robert Bedwell
Names used by Robert Bedwell, in his book "The Modal Method of Music". Bedwell provides a structure and well-considered names for a lot of the obscure heptatonics.
Hey. These tradition pages are a big mess right now. If you look below you will see lots of chaos and duplication and misspellings. I'm working on a new organization scheme for scale names; when that's ready it will all look way better and everything will be accurate.
TL;DR Please ignore this page. Or, peruse it at your own peril.
