The Notes To Scales tool can be accessed from the workspace in the following ways:

Button	Menu
	Tools-Notes To Scales

It appears as shown below, and allows you to identify which scales contain a set of notes.

If you select a range from the Melody, Riff or Bass tracks before you open this tool, any notes within it will be automatically selected.  If you don't want them, you can use the Clear Notes button as your first action.

If you select a cell from the Scales track before you open this this tool, the Close button will be replaced by Cancel and Update buttons, which will insert the selected scale into that cell.

Obviously you cannot use both of these at once, but you can come close if you select your initial notes first, then use the Copy button to transfer the selected result back to the song.

Controls

Notes

The notes of the octave are shown as buttons arranged in a circle, emphasizing the cyclic nature of the octave.

Each button can be pressed to include the note, or released to remove the note from the set.  The example above has the notes C, D, E, F# and G included.

Clear Notes

Removes all selected notes from the set.  Provides a quicker way to reset your input than releasing each button separately.

Play Notes

Auditions the sound of the selected notes, played in sequence.

Scales

As the notes are included or removed, the set is analyzed to find the matching scales.  These are placed into the list, with the closest match at the top.

As each scale is selected, degree labels appear within the circle of notes, indicating how each note contributes to its formation.  The example above has G=1, C=4, D=5, E=6, F#=7, because G Major is the selected scale.

Each scale in the list displays a percentage which indicates how many of its notes are included in the set of notes.  For example, the 71% figures indicate five out of the seven notes of the scales are present.

Hide Synonym Scales

To make the results easier to view, scales can be hidden if they are only synonyms (containing the same set of notes) which are modes of a scale that is already listed.

For example, if this option was removed in the diagram above, the modes of the G Major scale (A Dorian, B Phrygian, C Lydian, etc) would also be listed, and the corresponding modes of the G Melodic Minor scale would also be present.

Copy Scale

Copies the selected scale to the clipboard, where it is available to be pasted into the song, once you return to the workspace.

Relations of Scale

Opens the Relations window so you can explore which chords are related to the selected scale.

Play Scale

Auditions the sound of the selected scale.  This can be compared with the sound of the notes.

Close/Cancel

Closes the window and returns to the workspace.

Update

Insert the selected scale in the Scales list into the song at the current cell.
