A ladder; a series of steps; a means of ascending.
The graduated series of all the tones, ascending or descending, from the keynote to its octave; -- called also the gamut. It may be repeated through any number of octaves. See Chromatic scale, Diatonic scale, Major scale, and Minor scale, under Chromatic, Diatonic, Major, and Minor.
Gradation; succession of ascending and descending steps and degrees; progressive series; scheme of comparative rank or order; as, a scale of being.
To climb by a ladder, or as if by a ladder; to ascend by steps or by climbing; to clamber up; as, to scale the wall of a fort.
To lead up by steps; to ascend.
An ordering of notes from low to high, or from high to low. Scales come in all different types depending on what pitches are involved and what patterns are formed by the pitches. A common type of scale, called the Major scale, is often sung to the familiar do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do syllables.
A progression of notes which establishes a key.
Ascending or descending series of notes that define a mode or tonality , usually by the terminal pitch. See also chromatic scale , diatonic , major , minor .
A scale is a sequence of notes that fall into a specific pattern, either ascending or descending. In Western harmonic theory, the most familiar scales are diatonic (major and minor) chromatic, and pentatonic (a five note scale), but the possibilities of scale patterns are infinite. Each musical culture establishes its own rules that determine how scales are made and used. For example, in India, scale patterns are called ragas; specific ragas may be associated with different times of the day, certain colours, or evocative moods.
A progression of notes in a specific order.
a group of notes that follow a certain pattern of whole and half steps
a sequence of tones arranged in rising pitches
A scale is a sequence of notes arranged in order from lowest to highest or from highest to lowest.
(music) a series of notes differing in pitch according to a specific scheme (usually within an octave)

A Scale is a formal progression of notes on an octave, such as a chromatic or major scale.
(H.E.): the incrementally ascending or descending arrangement of the notes of a mode, or any set of tones. Scalar is the adjective.
A sequence of tones, usually within an octave, and used as the basis of a composition.
(1) A selection of tones in the octave, arranged in ascending or descending order, usually but not always using intervals of half- or whole-steps, and using the same notes in every successive octave. One tone is usually thought of as being the root, but it need not be the first note played. Most scales have 5, 6, 7 or 8 notes to the octave but any number from 2 to 12 is possible. (2) The same group of tones regarded abstractly as a 'pool' of available notes. In this sense, scale really means the same as chord. There is a maxim: 'Scales are chords and chords are scales.' (3) A section of melody in the form of a scale.
a sequence of tones which progress step by step in pitch and serve as the basis of a composition
a stepwise progression of notes from one note to an octave above or below, for example, C to C
an ordered set of pitches that cover a range of one octave.
A selection of tones within one octave.
a pre-determined arrangement of a succession of pitches, usually eight, where the first and last have the same pitch name. Most commonly used are major and minor scales, especially in Bach's day.
A series of tones within an octave which are used as the basis of musical composition.
A series of tones or pitches in ascending or descending order. Scale tones are often assigned numbers (1-8) or syllables (do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do).
a series of notes organized in ascending or descending order to form a pattern of whole steps and half steps.
A collection of pitches arranged from lowest to highest or highest to lowest.
It is a sequence of notes in ascending or descending order of pitch.
Musical "stairway" of notes ascending and descending within an octave.
A specific sequence of tones, beginning and ending on a key note or the tonal center.
a succession of tones ascending or descending according to fixed intervals.
A sequence of tones, usually associated with a set of intervals.
a series of pitches arranged according to a particular pattern of intervals
A series of ascending and descending steps to assess the relative or absolute size of some property of an object. Scales can be linear or logarithmic.
A summary of the pitches in a piece of music arranged in order from the lowest to the highest.
The arrangement of notes in a specific order of whole and half steps.
Arrangement of pitches in descending or ascending order that contribute to tonal organization in a piece of music.
A succession of tones. The scale generally used in Western music is the diatonic scale, consisting of whole and half steps in a specific order.
A series of notes which define a diatonic tonality, often consisting of eight degrees, and containing a tonic and sometimes also a leading tone.
Scale is an album by Matthew Herbert, released May 29, 2006. According to the liner notes 635 objects were used to create the album. These include traditional instruments such as violins and guitars and other objects such as breakfast cereal, gas pumps and coffins.
