Chromatic scale i.e. sargam, makes up the twelve notes of the chromatic scale with respective sharps and flats. Chromatic scale The chromatic scale is a musical scale with twelve pitches, each a semitone above or below its adjacent pitches. As a result, in 12-tone equal temperament (the most common temperament in Western music), the chromatic scale covers all 12 of the available pitches. Thus, there is only one chromatic scale. Moreover, in equal temperament, all the semitones have the same size (100 cents). As a result, the notes of an equal-tempered chromatic scale are equally-spaced. This makes the chromatic scale a nondiatonic
Major scale semitone (i.e. whole, whole, half). The major scale is maximally even. \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { </score> The scale degrees are: \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f </score> The triads built on each scale degree follow a distinct pattern. The roman numeral analysis is shown in parentheses. If a piece of music (or part of a piece of music) is in a major key, then the notes "in" the corresponding major scale are considered "diatonic" notes, while the notes "outside" the major scale are considered "chromatic" notes. Moreover, the key signature of the piece of music (or section)
