Scale (music) identified by using a binary system of twelve zeros or ones to represent each of the twelve notes of a chromatic scale. It is assumed that the scale is tuned using 12-tone equal temperament (so that, for instance, C is the same as D), and that the tonic is in the leftmost position. For example, the binary number 101011010101, equivalent to the decimal number 2773, would represent any major scale (such as C–D–E–F–G–A–B). This system includes scales from 100000000000 (2048) to 111111111111 (4095), providing a total of 2048 possible species, but only 351 unique scales containing from 1 to 12
Bebop scale Harris. Ben-Hur further elaborates on the concept of placing additional chromatic passing tones between other notes in the scales. The bebop harmonic minor scale (or bebop natural minor scale, as listed in Mark Levine's "The Drop 2 Book") is derived from the harmonic minor scale and has a chromatic passing tone (an additional 7) between the 6th and the 7th notes. \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { </score> It contains all of the notes of both the harmonic minor scale and the natural minor scale (Aeolian mode) of the same root. It can be used on all three
