Scales View is the fourth of five different views within the ChordWizard workspace. You can enter it by clicking on the Scales tab at the bottom of the screen or with the View-Scales menu command.
In Scales View, the Scales menu appears in the middle of the menu bar, and contains a set of commands specifically for use with this view.
While you can view the locations of all notes of a scale on the Fretboard with Relations View, in practice you can't reach every location at once with your hand!
This is why improvisation and melodies are played on stringed instruments in scale positions, which are subsets of the total number of note locations. All locations within a scale position can be reached with the hand from a particular fret position.
Scales View allows you to explore and practice scale positions for any scale on the fretboard of any instrument or tuning. The analysis of all possible scale positions is completely automatic, so you can concentrate on learning the positions you are presented with.
In addition to just revealing scale positions, Scales View gives you a flexible framework which demonstrates how they are played and allows you to conduct your own interactive practice sessions. You can customise how practice sessions operate with the Practice options.
You can print a full report of scale positions as a Scale Chart report. You can also print the scale positions for the currently selected scale by allowing the filter to restrict the scope of the report.
