WHAT IS SCALE “SPELLING”?

All scales are combinations of whole and half-step intervals and on
occassion larger intervals. It is the specific combination of intervals
which defines a scale and makes it unique. Starting from any root, this
sequence of specific intervals will define the scale. This chapter defines
those step-wise combinations and provides the interval from the root to
each scale tone.
