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";
Chromatic circle major (Ionian mode), minor (Aeolian mode) and Mixolydian - include these pitches. Symmetric scales have simple representations in this scheme. More exotic scales - such as the pentatonic, blues and octatonic - can also be drawn and related to the common scales. A more complete list of musical scales and modes In previous sections we saw how various overlays (scale degrees, semi-tone numbering, notes) can be used to notate the circumference of the constellation. Various other overlays can be laid around the constellation. For example: Note that once a pitch constellation has been determined, any number of overlays (notes, solfège,
