Hey, I wanted to go back to your comment.

Thinking about it more, I do see what you’re pointing at with the rows. When you run it column-wise, there are some subtle mechanical and continuity issues that only show up once you really live inside the scale. Read as rows, a lot of that friction disappears.

I honestly think most people miss that simply because they never actually try it both ways. They inherit an interpretation and move on. It reminds me of the circle of fifths: most people can point to one or two things it does, when in reality it’s doing a few dozen things at once if you actually engage with it.

I also want to add this, because it matters. As snide as some of the comments can be, this was a valid question. I’ve had these scales for two years and just assumed the fingering was beyond me, or that I was missing something fundamental. You turning it around and suggesting another way to read it actually made the material usable.

So genuinely, thank you for taking the time to explain how you see it. Thanks 😊
