Listings of the scale's modes, or rotations of its step patterns, are added here. This can include mode names in use by the general community. Names that have not received use by the broader community use should be treated as idiosyncratic, and if applicable, the person who had proposed the names should be stated. Example: ''person-name'' has proposed/advocated for the following names...
