For example, here are all the modes of Meantone[7], using ~3/2 as the generator:

|| old scale name || new scale name || sL pattern || example on white keys || genchain ||

|| Lydian || 1st Meantone [7] || LLLs LLs || F G A B C D E F || __**F**__ C G D A E B ||

|| Phrygian || 6th Meantone [7] || sLLL sLL || E F G A B C D E || F C G D A __**E**__ B ||

|| Locrian || 7th Meantone [7] || sLLs LLL || B C D E F G A B || F C G D A E __**B**__ ||

The same seven modes, all with C as the tonic, to illustrate the difference between modes. Adjacent modes differ by only one note. The modes proceed from sharper (Lydian) to flatter (Locrian).

|| old scale name || new scale name || sL pattern || example in C || ------------------- genchain --------------- ||

Chromatic meantone scales.
