2. Semitone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitone

   It is defined as the interval between two adjacent notes in a 12-tone scale (or half of a whole step), visually seen on a keyboard as the distance between two keys that are adjacent to each other. For example, C is adjacent to C ♯ ; the interval between them is a semitone.

3. Degree (music) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_(music)

   The term scale step is sometimes used synonymously with scale degree, but it may alternatively refer to the distance between two successive and adjacent scale degrees (see steps and skips). The terms " whole step " and " half step " are commonly used as interval names (though "whole scale step" or "half scale step" are not used).

4. Scale (music) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music)

   For instance, in a chromatic scale each scale step represents a semitone interval, while a major scale is defined by the interval pattern W–W–H–W–W–W–H, where W stands for whole step (an interval spanning two semitones, e.g. from C to D), and H stands for half-step (e.g. from C to D ♭).

5. Major scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_scale

   where "whole" stands for a whole tone (a red u-shaped curve in the figure), and "half" stands for a semitone (a red angled line in the figure). [2] Whole steps and half steps are explained mathematically in a related article, Twelfth root of two. Notably, an equal-tempered octave has twelve half steps (semitones) spaced equally in terms of the ...

6. Steps and skips - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steps_and_skips

   For example, C to D (major second) is a step, whereas C to E (major third) is a skip. More generally, a step is a smaller or narrower interval in a musical line, and a skip is a wider or larger interval with the categorization of intervals into steps and skips is determined by the tuning system and the pitch space used.

7. Octatonic scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octatonic_scale

   Each octatonic scale has exactly two modes: the first begins its ascent with a whole step, while the second begins its ascent with a half step . These modes are sometimes referred to as the whole step/half-step diminished scale and the half-step/whole step diminished scale, respectively. [10]

9. Diatonic scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatonic_scale

   In music theory a diatonic scale is a heptatonic (seven-note) scale that includes five whole steps (whole tones) and two half steps (semitones) in each octave, in which the two half steps are separated from each other by either two or three whole steps. In other words, the half steps are maximally separated from each other.
