 === The Paradiatonic Scales ===
-The Paradiatonic scales from a given tonic acts as a sort of "second shelf" of that tonality.
+The Paradiatonic scales from a given tonic acts as a sort of "second shelf" of that tonality.  Note that scale degrees in parentheses are optional.
 The '''Bright Paradiatonic Scale''' consists of the following scale degrees as analyzed relative to Viennese Theory's scale steps:
-I, tII/dbIII, dIII, tIV, dV, dVI, tVI/dbVII, tVII
+I, tII/dbIII, (dIII), tIV, dV, (dVI), tVI/dbVII, tVII
 The '''Dark Paradiatonic Scale''' consists of the following scale degrees as analyzed relative to Viennese Theory's scale steps:
-I, dbII tII/dbIII, dIII, tIV, dV, dVI, tVI/dbVII
+I, dbII tII/dbIII, (dIII), tIV, dV, (dVI), tVI/dbVII
 While the Diatonic scale itself has seven notes, the two Paradiatonic scales each have eight notes, furthermore, the tunings of each note in each Paradiatonic scale not only depend upon the exact tuning of the Diatonic scale used as a basis, but also vary considerably when it comes to the notes of the Paradiatonic that occur between the main Diatonic interval category ranges.
