Technically there should then be duplicates and thus 57 (= 78 − 21) pitches (21 = ). For example, a perfect fifth above G (D) is the major tone above C. Harmonic scale The Harmonic
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)
