Major Locrian scale "Harmonic Materials of Modern Music" devotes several pages to the major Locrian, or more precisely to its transpositional set class, a concept Hanson pioneered. He names this transpositional class the "seven-tone impure major second scale", and notes that the various modes of the major Locrian can all be defined as the whole tone scale with one additional note, and where that note occurs does not affect the transpositional class. He also notes that the scale has the property that every three-note chord possible in the twelve tone chromatic scale already appears in the major Locrian. Examples are given of the
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,
