replies: text: Yes we do. It makes it easier to understand how it is in the real world, not just in theory. By listening to the songs that is. 83.108.208.28 (talk) 17:43, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

message: This mode wouldn't be called "harmonic minor perfect fifth below" in jazz lingo. A jazz musician would most likely refer to this as "dominant flat 2 flat 6. "  Inasilentway (talk) 06:57, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Diff This section was becoming larger than the rest of the article, and was unsourced. (If you consider a Hal Leonard guitar tab book a reliable source, then there was one sourced item.) Here is a place to discuss that. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 02:19, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

message: C to Db, should this not be a minor second?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.239.189.230 (talk) 02:22, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, C to D is a minor second. One presumes the heading you chose ("Augmented second") has to do with the references in the article to the augmented second found between scale degrees 2 and 3, which in the example are D and E.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 04:44, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

message: The example given has the key signature of two flats (for G minor) and an F sharp to give the major third in D, but the F sharp can also be left out of the key sig and written throughout as an accidental. Ponce does this in his 24th guitar prelude, which has one flat for the key sig (this would be D minor) then the C# of the dominant A written as an accidental throughout.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.129.245.255 (talk) 13:22, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, obviously it can be done this way, as well as many others. Is there a point applicable to this article you are trying to make?Jerome Kohl (talk) 16:57, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

text: Reason is that many music typesetting programs can only set the "standard circle of fifths" key signatures; also many people cannot read such advanced signatures fluently. --User:Haraldmmueller 12:44, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

text: Uh, OK, but it's not "my way" of "representing the key signature".—Jerome Kohl (talk) 20:00, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

message: While reading the Wikipedia page describing scales, I saw a link labelled "Hejaz Scale"; however, when I clicked the link, I was redirected to this page about the Phrygian Scales.  Unfortunately, I cannot find in this page any discussion of Hejaz Scale.  Presumably, someone who knows enough about music and scales created the link, but it's likely to be rather confusing to anyone trying to find out about the scales used in middle eastern music if they find Hejaz Scale via that link from the scales page. At first, I thought that the link was to an incorrect page, but then I did a search of all of Wikipedia for "Hejaz Scale", and got only two hits, namely the page disgusting scales in general, and (which is already found) and this one on the Phrygian Scales. Thus I expect that somewhere in the code for the page is the phrase "Hejaz Scale" (I've not yet checked, in case just mentioning my concern less to a fix by someone more familiar with the various musical scales of eastern music), but in using my browser to search for "Hejaz" in this page, I get 0 hits.  I hope someone adds soon this information.  In the meantime, I plan to look up "Hejaz Scale" on other sources.  If and when I feel "expert enough" on the topic, if no one has added the information about "Hejaz Scale", I may do so myself.   Matt Insall 18:21, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

message: I can't find a version of Misirlou on Youtube that uses this mode. They all use the major 7th (B-natural, if the tonic is C) not the dominant 7th (B-flat, if the tonic is C). Google it and take a listen for yourself. Misirlou should not be included as one of two examples of the use of this mode. I'm not making the edit directly out of respect, since the traditions that use this modes are not my traditions, but my ears aren't lying, right?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willhaslett (talk • contribs) 23:27, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The article does say "some versions". Does YouTube claim to have all versions available? If so, do they all identify the mode? Keep in mind, too, that YouTube is not usually considered a reliable source, and we cannot rely on our own ears to verify something like this.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 23:48, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
