Often in the NNS, songs in minor keys will be written in the 6- of the relative major key. So if the song was in G minor, the key would be listed as B ♭ major, and G minor chords would appear as 6-. If a chord root is not in the scale, the symbols ♭ or ♯ can be added. In the key of C major, an E ♭ triad would be notated as ♭ 3.

The blues scale is so named for its use of blue notes. Since blue notes are alternate inflections, strictly speaking there can be no one blues scale, [8] but the scale most commonly called "the blues scale" comprises the minor pentatonic scale and an additional flat 5th scale degree: C E ♭ F G ♭ G B ♭ C. [9] [10] [11]
The seventh scale degree is very often raised a half step to form a leading tone, making the dominant chord (V) a major chord (i.e. V major instead of v minor) and the subtonic chord (vii), a diminished chord (vii o, instead of ♭ VII). This version of minor scale is called the harmonic minor scale.
The Lydian scale can be described as a major scale with the fourth scale degree raised a semitone, making it an augmented fourth above the tonic; e.g., an F-major scale with a B ♮ rather than B ♭. That is, the Lydian mode has the following formula:
For instance a G 7 augmented 5th dominant chord in which G altered scale tones would work before resolving to C 7, a tritone substitution chord such as D ♭ 9 or D ♭ 7 ♯ 11 is often used in which D ♭ /G whole-tone scale tones will work, the sharpened 11th degree being a G and the flattened 7th being a C ♭, the enharmonic equivalent of ...
The first movement in B ♭-major, marked Allegro, opens with a series of fortissimo B ♭-major chords, which form much of the basis of the first subject. After the first subject is spun out for a while, the opening set of fortissimo chords are stated again, this time followed by a similar rhythm on the unexpected chord of D major. [24]
