[[File:heji_just_major.png|400px|thumb|right|Right-handed just major scale on C, in [[HEJI]] notation.]]
The major mode of the right-handed version gives the usual 5-limit major diatonic: {{dash|1/1, 9/8, 5/4, 4/3, 3/2, 5/3, 15/8, 2/1}}.

[[File:heji_just_minor.png|400px|thumb|right|Left-handed just minor scale on C, in [[HEJI]] notation.]]
The left-handed version is most commonly encountered in its minor mode, which gives the usual 5-limit minor diatonic: {{dash|1/1, 9/8, 6/5, 4/3, 3/2, 8/5, 9/5, 2/1}}.
In the major mode, it only differs from the right-handed by having a 10/9 instead of 9/8 on the second degree. Reversing the steps of the right-handed major scale gives the left-handed phrygian mode.

The left-handed variation has 10/9 instead of 9/8 on the second degree. It can be obtained from the right-handed version by reversing its steps. It is most commonly encountered in the 6th mode (with 5/3 as the root) which gives the usual 5-limit minor diatonic: {{dash|1/1, 9/8, 6/5, 4/3, 3/2, 8/5, 9/5, 2/1}}.
