</span>There is a "mode" widget.<br>
<br>
As for temperament and mode, these are the important principles...<br>
<br>
* You have collection of pitches that most often repeats at the octave.<br>
<br>
e.g.<br>
<br>
CDEFGAB(CDEFG...)<br>
<br>
[N.B. this number of pitches can be any number, but some collections are<br>
more common than others.]<br>
<br>
* A mode is the name/quality that collection of pitches has/imbues when<br>
starting (or "centering around") from a particular pitch in that<br>
collection.<br>
<br>
Start from C or D or E or F etc. changes the sound of the music.<br>
<br>
* Temperament is the precise tuning of those notes, and thus the<br>
relationship of the tuning of those notes with each other.<br>
<br>
For example, if the tuning in Hz of E is changed, the relationship<br>
between C and E changes too... thus affecting the sound.<br>
<br>
So, with different temperaments, the same modes can sound very<br>
different.<br>
