Scale (music) identified by using a binary system of twelve zeros or ones to represent each of the twelve notes of a chromatic scale.

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).

The bebop scale is used most often. Jazz scale A jazz scale is any musical scale used in jazz. Many "jazz
