I'm on a (possibly multi-)lifetime quest to understand this better.

all of what this music library does comes out of the concept of the music keyboard, which is (in my head) the same as the 12-note "meta"-scale which is a system that enables 12 different version of 7 note scales.

in this view, a scale does not begin in any specific note; this perspective of "scale" goes beyond the typical music theory view. understanding 'scales' like this implies that the major and minor 'scales' are the same 'scale'. I should choose another vocabulary term for this quasi-scale idea (semiscale?)
