Wording

I changed "are derived" to "can be derived." Seeing as how the various modes predate the major/minor scales, it is like saying a horse-drawn carriage is derived from the car... I'm still not fond of the wording, even after my edit. I might come back and revisit it and try to find a way to make it more clear. Jmclark (talk) 10:47, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Difference between synthetic mode and synthetic scale

I am personally a little confused on the difference between a synthetic scale and mode. Would this article benefit if an explanation were added in the introduction comparing/contrasting synthetic modes to synthetic scales?----Awelotta (talk) 19:37, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Citation

Hello-

I'm citing this page for a monograph article that I'm writing about synthetic harmony, and could I please cite the individual author of this beneficial article?

Thanks-

Wikipedia articles almost never have a single author: we're a collectively edited encyclopedia. There's a guide to citing Wikipedia at this page but note carefully what it says at the top: we are not, and have never pretended to be, a reliable source. For all academic, and almost all other purposes, a citation to Wikipedia is inappropriate. — Trey Maturin™ 16:54, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
