	Scale (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scales are often abstracted from performance or composition, though they are often used precompositionally to guide or limit a composition.
		Scales in traditional Western music generally consist of seven notes, made up of a root note and six other scale degrees whose pitches lie between the root and the root's first octave.
		The notes in a chord are usually a subset of a particular scale, in the common practice period being built upward by thirds from a particular scale degree.

		Scales are theoretical constructs which may be used to control a composition, but much music is written without any scale in mind.
		Scales may be described as tonal, modal, diatonic, derived or synthetic, and by the number of tones included.
		Scales in traditional Western music consist of seven notes, made up of a root note and six other scale degrees whose pitches lie between the root and its first octave.

	The Pharaoh's Music Section - Scale Degrees
		Remember that the scale degrees refer to the actual notes, the interval names refer to the distances between the notes.
		The first scale degree represents the tonal center of the key (the tonic) and names the key, the other scale degrees share the common tendency to want to resolve to the tonic.
		The advantage of using scale degree numbers to name the notes is that it provides a template for the labeling of intervals larger than a whole step.

	Degree (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In music theory, a scale degree is the name of a particular note of a scale in relation to the tonic (the first note in the scale).
		In tonal scales, the degrees may be identified several ways:
		the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh degrees of the scale;

	Ocean Water: Temperature - Scales
		On this scale, the melting point of pure water under normal pressure is 32° F, and the boiling point of water is 212° F. Fahrenheit's 0° was based on an equal mixture of water, ice, and salt.
		In his version of the scale, Celsius set water's freezing point at 100° C and boiling at 0° C. The values were later reversed by Carolus Linnaeus (developer of our scientific system of naming plants and animals).
		On the Kelvin scale, the freezing point of water is 273.15 K and the boiling point is 373.15 K. When using this scale, no degree symbol is necessary.

	Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, Réaumur, and Rankine Temperature Conversion
		Centigrade means "consisting of or divided into 100 degrees;" the Celsius scale, devised by Swedish Astronomer Andres Celsius (1701-1744) for scientific purposes, has 100 degrees between the freezing point of 0 degrees and boiling point of 100 degrees of pure water at sea level air pressure, 29.92 inches of mercury.
		On the Fahrenheit scale, used primarily in the United States, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees and the boiling point is 212 degrees while measured at standard pressure.
		Zero degrees Fahrenheit was the coldest temperature that the German born scientist Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit could create with a mixture of ice and ordinary salt.

		The major scale includes two semitones between scale degrees 3 and 4 and 7 and 1 and five whole tones arranged in the same pattern found on the white keys of the piano from any C up to the next C. A major scale can be formed on any of the twelve pitch classes.
		A composition based on a given scale is said to be in the key of that scale, e.g., C major.
		The natural minor scale is used for the circle-of-5ths progression in minor until the final dominant chord (with the raised scaled degree 7 as the leading tone) is reached at the cadence.

	Sheave Tension Calculator (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		When it is necessary to measure tension using a sheave with a scale the tension must be calculated from the scale reading.
		When larger cables pass through a sheave at ninety degrees 100 to 150 pounds of tension is added to the out going tension, but this is relatively a small number compared to the larger tension values.
		There are no data available on how many pounds of tension is added for varying degrees of deflection by sheaves, but certainly the amount of tension added to the out going cable would be a function of the stiffness of the cable and the number of degrees the cable is deflected by the sheave.

		He intended to make 30 degrees the freezing point of water and 90 degrees the temperature of the human body, but he had to later revise these temperatures to be 32 degrees and 96 degrees.
		In 1742, Anders Celsius recommended that the scale on the mercury thermometer be adjusted so that 100 degrees occurred at the freezing point of water and 0 degrees occurred at the boiling point of water.
		The scale did not become truly popular until after Celsius's death when the measurements for the freezing and boiling points were switched.

	Bass Lessons .com, Major Scale Based Intervals, by Adam Nitti (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		If you have ever taken any music classes or studied any music theory books, chances are you have been introduced to the term, "major scale." A scale, in general, is a series of notes that are used together to create a specific sound or tonality.
		These distances are based on assigning a number to each scale degree, or member note of a scale.
		Just as the major scale can be thought of as our "default" scale, these intervallic shapes can be considered our "default" shapes for 2nds, 3rds, 4ths, 5ths, 6ths, 7ths, and octaves.

		Scale degrees are the numbers of the tones of any major scale.
		Thus, when a student is learning his minor scales, it is easy for him to learn minor scales as variations of the major scales than as separate additional scales.
		A song is centered upon a scale when most of its melodic tones and chords are found upon the scale, and, in particular, if there are no moduclations into other keys, the final chord is the chord built upon the root of the scale of the key.

		It is the same as the interval between the E string of a violin and the similarly pitched E high harmonic of the C string of a cello in a string quartet if the players tune using pure instead of tempered fifths, and is a little over 1/5th of a 12-tet semitone.

	Metric System Temperature (kelvin and degree Celsius)
		The degree Celsius (°C) scale was devised by dividing the range of temperature between the freezing and boiling temperatures of pure water at standard atmospheric conditions (sea level pressure) into 100 equal parts.
		Temperatures on this scale were at one time known as degrees centigrade, however it is no longer correct to use that terminology.
		The degree Fahrenheit (°F) non-metric temperature scale was devised and evolved over time so that the freezing and boiling temperatures of water are whole numbers, but not round numbers as in the Celsius temperature scale.

	Major Scale - Guitar
		A scale is a series of notes arranged in a specific interval pattern.
		Major scales are usually written as 8 notes, however the last note is the same letter name as the first and is in fact the first note of the next octave of that scale.
		After all of those major scales have been demonstrated, the truth is the major on guitar is not played on a single string in most circumstances.

	About Temperature
		One of the first attempts to make a standard temperature scale occurred about AD 170, when Galen, in his medical writings, proposed a standard "neutral" temperature made up of equal quantities of boiling water and ice; on either side of this temperature were four degrees of heat and four degrees of cold, respectively.
		On the Celsius scale the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure is 99.975 C in contrast to the 100 degrees defined by the Centigrade scale.
		The unit of temperature on this scale is called the kelvin, after Lord Kelvin (William Thompson), 1824-1907, and its symbol is K (no degree symbol used).
