My preferred version of this scale differs from my preferred Ionian mode solely by it having the 77/64 Minor 3rd in place of Ionian's 5/4 Major 3rd. In a similar vein to the Diatonic-derived apposite names mentioned above, we can analogously create the term Dorionian, and thus, I'll be deriving the names of the other modes of this scale from Dorionian. This scale consists of notes related to the Tonic by the following ratios: | My preferred version of this scale differs from my preferred Ionian mode solely by it having the 77/64 Minor 3rd in place of Ionian's 5/4 Major 3rd.

My preferred tuning of this scale utilizes the 25/16 for the augmented fifth, with this augmented fifth being the only note that distinguishes this scale from my preferred tuning of Lydian. Do note that for the Diatonic-derived apposite name, I've coined a prefix "auxo-" from Ancient Greek [[Wiktionary: αὔξω #Ancient Greek|''aúxō'']] (to make grow or increase) and tacked it onto Lydian to make the name Auxolydian, and it is from this that I've decided derive the names of the other modes of this scale.
