[Sugar-devel] Outreachy - Going Beyond Equal Temperament in Music Blocks

[Sachithra Dangalla]

Hi,

*Mode* is a new term to me and I'm still reading about it ([1] and [2]).
I'm finding it hard to understand the relationship between temperament and
mode or their implementations, any advice on it would be great. Is mode
already presented in music blocks?
