In order to foster the understanding of some of the terms used for the scale degrees used on this page- to say nothing of their associated diatonic functions- it is necessary for me to define them, though these definitions will likely be amended in the future.

'''Tonic''' - This is the note that serves as the tonal center, and thus, the main resolution tone, and is the note for which scales are named (e.g. the key of C major is so-named because in this scale, C serves as the Tonic). For more information about the general functionalities and properties of the Tonic, see [~~https~~:~~//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonic_~~(music) ~~Wikipedia's article~~].

'''Contralead''' - This is my term for a note that occurs at intervals between 160/153 and 14/13 away from the Tonic, and, which serves as a leading tone in the direction opposite that of the scale's direction of construction- which, in most modern music, is from the Bass upwards. This means that in most music, the Contralead occurs as a lowered second scale degree.
