Notice the 4ths and 7ths - this is where the notes flatten/sharpen when shifting keys up/down a fifth (or down/up a fourth).
 
 
== Fifths and equivalents ==
 
All columns are equivalent pitches.  Each cell is a perfect fifth above the cell to its left.

== Equivalent Pitches for Scales Below/Above by Interval ==
 
Modulating from any major scale to a new major scale that is ___ interval above/below the original key has ___ same pitches and #/b per note:
