Something frivolous

I made a "dark mode" for the music theory pages. Look in the top right corner. Ta-da!

Images are a little janky because they're just using a CSS inverse filter. But hey it's not bad for 45min of work.

Lots of writing on the book lately. I've been focused on the chapter about naming scales, since it's the most chaotic subject in the book, it's taking a lot of finesse to explain things well. The subject of "corrupted major" as an anti-pattern for scale naming... is troublesome because I am convinced it's a flawed paradigm, but it's so popular and normalized that I can't really write that it's "wrong"... it's just a different way to name scales. A different way that is worse in my honest opinion.

I also flexed my programming muscles a little to generate every possible "compound chord scale". See it here:

Enjoy living,
