D-flat minor D-flat minor D minor is a theoretical key based on D, consisting of the pitches D, E, F, G, A, B, and C. Its key signature has six flats and one double flat. Its relative major is F major (usually replaced by E major), its parallel major is D major, its direct enharmonic equivalent is C♯ minor, which is normally used. The D natural minor scale is: \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { </score> Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The D harmonic minor and melodic
Minor scale Minor scale In music theory, the term minor scale refers to three scale formations – the natural minor scale (or Aeolian mode), the harmonic minor scale, and the melodic minor scale (ascending or descending) – rather than just one as with the major scale. \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { </score> \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { </score> \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { </score> In each of these scale formations, the first, third, and fifth scale degrees form a minor triad (rather than a major triad, as in a major scale).
