Scales and pitch sets

Put one scale, mode, pentatonic, hexatonic, triad pair, or interval set on each line. In Edit, set Bars to one or two. Play the set up and down, or the pair, for those bars.

You see one example. Play keeps time. Next brings the next set. Each example comes up once, then the order changes. Finish the list in one key before you edit the lines into the next key.

Open Scales for a named scale. Open All Intervals when the work is the space between two notes. Type the set you are practicing. The book stays the book.
