Scale Name Tradition: Western Altered
These scales are based on names from the old western modes, but with "sharp this" or "flat that". These scales are common in jazz music, but these names don't include any specific jazz jargon.
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.
