Hi Steve,
I already understood about the half tones so when I first read your explanation I still didn't get it, then I read it over more carefully and looked at your major scale chart because you said it had to cross reference with what's directly above it, that's the first time I actually noticed the alphabetical order in the vertical direction and that woke me up, I can see now that you have to use Bb instead of A# or you would have the Fa or 4 possition out of alphebetical order, so now it makes some sense to me, although I'll have to say that it still leaves me a little confused but that is familiar territory for me. I had been looking at your Note Names and Intervals diagram only in a horizontal direction with each key as an independent entity from the other keys. Thanks a lot Steve, incidently my mother lived in her house that was attached to her store "The Broken Arrow Trading Post" on hwy 60 in Wickenburg from 1959 to 2001 when she passed away, I was born in Bisbee AZ.
