Okay, so now we know that the interval sequence for a major scale is: M2, M2, m2, M2, M2, M2, m2. There are several ways you could modify this sequence. The most common is to "rotate" the sequence (i.e. take a certain number of intervals from the front of the list and move them to the back, or...

How do you like having double digit notifications when you log on? I think the most I've ever had at once is 6.

Okayz, here we go again.

Oh and thou shalt write the next chapter of the Book of Cheese or else shalt thou be forsaken by the Lord thy God.

and I'mma take a breather now. Only 22 more posts (21 after this one).

Before I go on, a very brief, very approximate, and very oversimplified history of Western music: Ancient: ??? - 500 (Greeks) Medieval: 500 - 1400 (Perotin, Machaut, Landini) Renaissance: 1400 - 1600 (Desprez, Palestrina, Weelkes, Gesualdo, Dowland) Baroque: 1600 - 1750 (Bach, Handel, Vivaldi...

Now, if you're really smart, you're thinking "wait a minute, that series of intervals doesn't fully describe the C major scale; it tells me how far I have to jump from each note to the next, but it doesn't tell me what note to start on," and you would be absolutely right in thinking this. As it...

It can sometimes be helpful to think of a scale as a series of intervals rather than a series of notes. For example, take the C major scale (C, D, E, F, G, A, B). Rather than thinking of this as 7 notes, you can think of it as 7 intervals (not 6 intervals; remember we're thinking circularly...

Now, as I said before, scales in almost all Western music function more like ordered lists than like unordered sets, so how do we know what order to put the notes in? Well, the tonic always comes first, and the notes are always in clockwise order on the chromatic circle. For example, suppose I...

Since scales are not octave dependent, it is helpful to think of the 12 different pitches as being arranged in a circular fashion, rather than a linear one, like so: We'll call this the "chromatic circle". For reasons we'll see later, it can also be helpful in many situations to think of the...

At this point, our notion of thinking of a scale as a "set" of notes (in the mathematical sense) sort of breaks down, since, in Western music, scales almost always have a "tonic", which is basically the central note in the scale. This means that scales are no longer unordered sets but ordered...

The simplest and most obvious scale is the C major scale, which consists of all the white keys {C, D, E, F, G, A, B}. As it turns out, all traditional scales in Western music are variants on this scale. Incidentally, the "complimentary" scale to that one (consisting of all the black keys {Db...

In music, a scale is the set of notes from which most or all of the notes in a piece are taken. Scales are not octave dependent, so, for example, you wouldn't say the scale of a piece is the set {F#3, A4, D6, Eb2, G5} you would just say {F#, A, D, Eb, G} and the piece would consist mostly (or...

Howzabout I continue with music theory stuffs, since that should take up a lot of posts.

My guess would be that they were implemented at the same time, and I second the motion to remove both of them. Also, @Lace: It's an approximation, and Google's approximations tend to be inaccurate. For example, one time it told me about 1000, and on page 2, the list ended.

That's a lot more that one fifth of an hour. edit: also, he probably has a lot more posts in the non-postcounted forums, so it really is horrible.

@Game Reapoer: The purpose of this thread is to ask Dr. Fabulous for "advice", which you didn't do in any of your posts. Dear Dr. Fabulous, Why didn't you answer any of my earlier questions? What about a catapult?

*ahem* We have a thread for that, you know.

Dear Dr. Fabulous, Why must you leave your smilies out where anyone can get their hands on them? Game Reaper seems to have stolen a shitload of them.

Dear Dr. Fabulous, Where are you when Desu needs you?

Dear Dr. Fabulous, what is this i dont even

In what world is your sister a Mr? lol rhymage

Also, you don't have to talk yourself to get other people talking. Just start poking them or something, and they'll probably start talking, telling you to gtfo and stuff.

Maybe it wasn't you. Maybe it was your dad or your brother.
