F-flat major F-flat major F major (or the key of F) is a theoretical key based on F, consisting of the pitches F, G, A, B, C, D, and E Its key signature has six flats and one double flat. The F major scale is: \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { </score> Its relative minor is D minor, usually replaced by C minor (see reason below) and its parallel minor is F minor, usually replaced by E minor, since F minor's four double-flats make it generally impractical to use. Because of that, it is usually enharmonic to E major with
Major Locrian scale any meantone system. It is notable as one of the five proper seven-note scales in equal temperament, and as strictly proper in any meantone tuning with fifths flatter than 700 cents. If we take the tonic in the scale given above to be G rather than C, we obtain the "leading whole-tone scale", which with a tonic on C is C–D–E–F–G–A–B; this can equally well be characterized as one of the five proper seven-note scales of equal temperament. The major Locrian scale is the 5th mode of the Neapolitan major scale, which may be used in conjunction with the Neapolitan
