This alternate form of Saba "doesn't include the octave of the tonic", and includes another non-octave as well (Ev-E). It could possibly be thought of as a scale with more than 7 notes, but it's unclear to what extent it's used this way in traditional music. | This alternate form of Saba "doesn't include the octave of the tonic", and includes another non-octave as well (Ev-E).
