Number of modes: 1202 Maximum number of notes: 14
The numbers represent the number of scale degrees between consecutive tones of the mode, starting from the tonic. So for 12-tone modes they are semitones, for 24-tone modes quartertones, etc., but for unequal parent scales just the former. This list only specifies which notes are used in a mode, raga, maqam, etc. ignoring all other aspects. This list also ignores varieties that may exist of given modes in different regions of a culture.
A number between [] indicates another starting note than the implicit degree 0.
The Meantone chromatic scales (negative systems), Twelve-tone chromatic scales (positive systems) and their major and minor modes are of the 3-limit Pythagorean kind. The scales marked with Just are approximations to 5-limit just scales, as well as the natural, melodic and harmonic minor scales. Where names are prepended by G. it is a Greek mode, and M. indicates a medieval (ecclesiastical) mode. The more common latter names where given by Boethius who confounded them. Sometimes the name is the same: G.M. Where Greek names don't have this prefix, the Greek ordering is used.
