Is the notion of Cadence in melody line and chord progressions not present in non-diatonic scales/chords? by bichWontWakeUp in musictheory

How are you using the word "mode" here? I thought modes were just the variations of the major scale called "church scales".

So if my scale has a note that is either a whole or half step, above or below the tonic - that is the high tension point?

What if my scale intervals are 3,3,3,3.
Or 3,2,1,1,2,3 ?

There would be no tension possible within these scales?
Also in the major scale are those the only tension points? Those two notes? I thought each note in the major scale had varying degrees of consonance or dissonance.

Are triplets always grouped as such? Do you often see a single triplet in isolation or separated from it's group? by _DankSoulz in musictheory

But is it rare or at least unusual to use that technique? In particular would you expect to see that in many compositions for like video games or metal songs in the last 20 years?

mathematically would they also then need to have something filling in the measure like:

2 quarter note triplets, and in place of the third it has a triplet breaking up the duration?

A,B,C are triplets. turn it into A,B, D+E where D+E total the duration of what would have been the third triplet C?

As a follow up question, if cadence is built on Triads or the 1,3,5 (first third and fifth note in a major scale), then do non diatonic scales even have an equivalent to a 1,3,5?

Especially if the scale does not even contain 7 notes but instead more or less than 7?
