The Chord Scale Generator not only displays scales, there is also the possibility of a reverse calculation for scales. So if you want to find out which scales match to an any riff you just played, the Chord Scale Generator can help you.
For this calculation you better remain in the Scales perspective. The procedure is the same like we've already seen it for chords. With the help of the Box, Tab and Notes View you can arrange your riff - just switch into the editing mode and arrange your riff by double-clicking. Finally you can start the calculation by performing the action Find Scale. The results of the calculation will be displayed in the Scale Results View.
This view shows all scales which contain all notes of your previously arranged riff. Therefore, it is also possible that even scales which contain additional notes are listed. In the table column Coverage you can see which percentage the notes of your riff cover of a listed scale. A low percentage does not have to be considered a "bad sign". The additionally defined notes of such a scale can be used to extend your riff.
A selected scale in the Scale Results View will be shown in the graphical views as described before.
