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 scale a raised third. \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { </score> The second is the combined scale that goes as Ionian ascending and as the previous melodic major descending. It differs from melodic minor scale only by raising the third degree to a major third. \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { </score> The double harmonic major scale has a minor second and a minor sixth. It is the fifth mode of the Hungarian minor scale. \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { </score> Major scale The major scale (or Ionian scale) is one of the most
