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
A-flat major A-flat major A-flat major (or the key of A-flat) is a major scale based on A, with the pitches A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Its key signature has four flats. The A-flat major scale is: \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c" { </score> The relative minor is F minor. Its parallel minor, A-flat minor, is usually replaced by G-sharp minor, since A-flat minor, which would contain seven flats, is not normally used. G-sharp major, its enharmonic, with eight sharps, including the F, has a similar problem, and so A-flat major is often used as the parallel
