What are Source Scales & Related Modes In Music? The Universal Encyclopedia of Scales (5/7)
A source scale is an arbitrary designation. Any of the related modes could be considered the source scale. There is no reason why we couldn’t have considered Dorian as the source scale. It is common practice to choose the best-known scale as the source. The designation of one of the scales as the source scale is just a convenient method of organizing scales and relate them to only one source.
By selecting one of the modes as the source scale we can refer to the set as:

You will not find this encyclopedia anywhere else!!!
A complete encyclopedia of scales has always been on every musician’s wish-list. There are many reasons why having a collection containing all scales in music fascinates us, but the most attractive one is that it is universal.
“There are 2048 scales in music, no more, no less. 12 of them are intervals (scales with only two notes), and 344 of the other 2036 scales are source scales. The amount of scales in music will never change. It will always be 2048 (in a twelve tone system). This not only makes this encyclopedia universal but also eternal."
