The section on "Jazz and blues" states that a piano can't play "blue notes," which are described as microtonal; yet the example "blues scale" is played on a piano. This needs to be clarified by someone who knows more about it than I do. My suspicion is that "blue notes" and "blues scale" are not at all the same thing, albeit related, but if so this section needs to address the concept of "blues scale" at least slightly. Furthermore, the [[Jazz scale|hatlinked article]] covers many more scales than just the blues scale; maybe a few sentences describing what's in that article might help. The "jazz scales" article uses the phrase "blue notes" only to refer to chromatically-altered notes as shown in the example, not microtones. The article [[Blues scale]] seems to indicate that "blue notes" is a contested term in this regard. —[[User:Wahoofive|Wahoofive]] ([[User talk:Wahoofive|talk]]) 16:59, 15 April 2024 (UTC) |

Table of intervals by scale
I would like to see a breakdown of the most common western clasical scales by the number of semitones in each interval. For example the major scales all have the same interval, just start on a different note. The information is contained in various pages, but not collated for convenience. Something like this Tradimus (talk) 13:39, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
| Type of Scale | First interval | Second interval | Third Interval | Fourth Interval | Fifth Interval | Sixth Interval | Seventh Interval | Eighth Interval |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Major Scale | 2 semitones | 2 | 1 semitone | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | |
| Natural Minor Scale | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | ? | |
| Harmonic Minor Scale | ||||||||
| Melodic Minor Scale | ||||||||
| Pentatonic Scale | ||||||||
| Hungarian Minor Scale | 2 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 | |

Blues
The section on "Jazz and blues" states that a piano can't play "blue notes," which are described as microtonal; yet the example "blues scale" is played on a piano. This needs to be clarified by someone who knows more about it than I do. My suspicion is that "blue notes" and "blues scale" are not at all the same thing, albeit related, but if so this section needs to address the concept of "blues scale" at least slightly. Furthermore, the hatlinked article covers many more scales than just the blues scale; maybe a few sentences describing what's in that article might help. The "jazz scales" article uses the phrase "blue notes" only to refer to chromatically-altered notes as shown in the example, not microtones. The article Blues scale seems to indicate that "blue notes" is a contested term in this regard. —Wahoofive (talk) 16:59, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
