Scale Name Tradition: Chord Names
Names that are usually descriptive of chords, not of scales. Usually given to scales that are particularly sparse, so they seem like tertiary chords in a diatonic scale, and not a scale unto themselves.
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.
