This chart illustrates the spellings of the major scales and their modes.
The “Ws” and “½s” across the top represent the intervals between each of the
notes—whole steps and half steps.
The Roman numerals represent the degrees of the scales. Directly above the
Roman numerals are the names of the modes.
The two charts at the bottom show the chord qualities (major, minor,
diminished, etc.) that result from building chords on each of the scale degrees.
This is called "diatonic harmony".
