→Half-Whole
Basically the exact same as above, except the patterns are half then whole instead of whole then half. Every other observation about the whole-half applies to half-whole. It also contains all the notes from the fully diminished chord. Its a symmetric scale without any tonality. Every other note could be the root and you'd get the same notes. It is also a mode of the above whole-half scale.

''* This scale is symmetric when dividing the octave into halves or quarters. Every other note can be the root and produce the same pattern.''
