Here you find the Tonalibus view of the seven regular diatonic heptatonalities. They are harmonically anchored scales that include five whole steps and two half steps (or semitones) in their octave. Alternating two or three whole steps separate the two half steps from each other. One may derive the seven pitches of a diatonic scale<\/mark><\/a> by compressing the chain of six successive quints, commonly called perfect fifths. Below are a few graphs juxtaposing the pitch patterns of the seven regular diatonic heptatonalities. One steps through them continually in half tone steps. Others show them in the order of minimal or single pitch modulation changes from one tonality to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
