! Proposed tuning for the tonality described in Ahlbäck, Tonspråket i äldre
! svensk folkmusik [The tonal language of older Swedish folk music]. Note: Not a
! "scale" in the normal sense. It is used as a heptatonic scale, where degrees 3,
! 6 and 7 are variable with 5 options: Low minor, high minor, neutral, low major,
! high major. Degree 4 also varies between major, minor and neutral. The tuning
! of the degree differs depending on where it occurs in the melody. The pitch set
! is also presented here as an octave-repeating set starting on the tonal center,
! but in the traditional material, many melodies use a range from a 4th below the
! root to a 5th above. They also often omit the 6th degree entirely.
