Note that the Pinetone melodic major includes a neutral triad 18:22:27 on the root of the Mixolydian symmetric minor, and the Pinetone melodic minor includes it's inverse on the root of the Dorian bright major, a flavour of triad not available in the Pinetone diatonic | Note that the Pinetone melodic major includes a neutral triad 18:22:27 on the root of the Mixolydian symmetric minor, and the Pinetone melodic minor includes it's inverse on the root of the Dorian bright major, a flavour of triad not available in the Pinetone diatonic. | ||

Of all Pinetone heptatonic scales, Ryonian ♯2♯3♯4 is the brightest, and Phyradian ♭5♭6♭7 is the darkest. Note also that Ryonian ♯2♯3♯4 begins with the harmonic series segment 8:9:10:11:12. In fact, remarkably, the entire mode can be represented as the harmonic series segment 24:27:30:33:36:40:44:48. Note that the Phyradian dark minor and the Karakalian bright minors are tetrachordal, along with the Pinetone diatonic. | Of all Pinetone heptatonic scales, Ryonian ♯2♯3♯4 is the brightest, and Phyradian ♭5♭6♭7 is the darkest.

Instead they may be employed for melodic reasons, as alternate modes to use with the minor 7 chord, or for the harmonic series segment 8:9:10:11:12, etc. | ||
