The augmented scale, also known in jazz theory as the symmetrical augmented scale, [3] is so called because it can be thought of as an interlocking combination of two augmented triads an augmented second or minor third apart: C E G ♯ and E ♭ G B. It may also be called the "minor-third half-step scale", owing to the series of intervals ...
Hexatonic (6 notes per octave): common in Western folk music; Pentatonic (5 notes per octave): the anhemitonic form (lacking semitones) is common in folk music, especially in Asian music; also known as the "black note" scale; Tetratonic (4 notes), tritonic (3 notes), and ditonic (2 notes): generally limited to prehistoric ("primitive") music
A major feature of the blues scale is the use of blue notes—notes that are played or sung microtonally, at a slightly higher or lower pitch than standard. [5] However, since blue notes are considered alternative inflections, a blues scale may be considered to not fit the traditional definition of a scale. [6]
The two whole-tone scales as a symmetrical partitioning of the chromatic scale; [1] if C=0 then the top stave has even (02468t) and the bottom has odd (13579e) pitches. In music, a whole-tone scale is a scale in which each note is separated from its neighbors by the interval of a whole tone.

The chromatic circle is useful because it represents melodic distance, which is often correlated with physical distance on musical instruments. For instance, assuming 12-tone equal temperament, to move from any C on a keyboard to the nearest E, one must move up four semitones, corresponding to four clockwise steps on the chromatic circle.
