Musical note commonly), a double sharp sign on a key signature with a single sharp indicates only a double sharp, not a triple sharp. Assuming enharmonicity, many accidentals will create equivalences between pitches that are written differently. For instance, raising the note B to B is equal to the note C. Assuming all such equivalences, the complete chromatic scale adds five additional pitch classes to the original seven lettered notes for a total of 12 (the 13th note completing the octave), each separated by a half-step. Notes that belong to the diatonic scale relevant in the context are sometimes called "diatonic notes";
Tritonic scale 47% of the scales used. The pre-Hispanic "herranza" ritual music of the Andes is generally tritonic, based on a major triad, and played on the "waqra phuku" trumpet, violin, and singer with a "tinya" drum. The tritonic scale is largely limited to this ritual and to some southern Peruvian Carnival music. Tritonic scale A tritonic scale is a musical scale or mode with three notes per octave. This is in contrast to a heptatonic (seven-note) scale such as the major scale and minor scale, or a dodecatonic (chromatic 12-note) scale, both common in modern Western music. Tritonic scales are not
