Scale 1995

The document provides a detailed analysis of the Sideways Scale, also known as Dimygian or MECian, which has a cardinality of 8 and a specific interval structure. It includes various properties such as Forte Number, hemitonia, and chirality, along with distribution spectra and coherence quotients. The study is part of a larger examination of musical scales by Ian Ring, highlighting the complexity and characteristics of this particular scale.
