For something I didn't believe existed this article has improved quite a bit. Hyacinth (talk) 19:45, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
First the articles states none, then it illustrates that the scales consists of semitones
defined by ascending intervals of two, three, two, two, and three semitones. It is the fourth mode of the major pentatonic scale. An example yo scale, expressed in western pitch names, is: D - E - G - A - B. This is illustrated below.
I think what is meant is composed of whole + semitone values. In any case, it's a mess.Mwasheim (talk) 22:41, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
This article states that the Yo scale is not used in gagaku music, while the gagaku article states that it is. I'm assuming one or the other is wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.83.100.27 (talk) 23:56, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
I have replaced the text "excluding gagaku and Buddhist chanting" in yo scale with "including gagaku and shomyo" and removed the contradiction tags. Hyacinth (talk) 04:33, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
This article contradicts the Japanese wikipedia "onkai" article, which gives D-E-G-A-C as "ritsu," not "yo." It gives "yo" as D-F-G-A-C-D. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%9F%B3%E9%9A%8E#.E6.97.A5.E6.9C.AC.E3.81.AE.E9.9F.B3.E9.9A.8E — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soksopbai (talk • contribs) 11:45, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
The text says the yo scale in D is D-E-G-A-B, but the second picture shows D-E-G-A-C. Which is right? --108.206.7.65 (talk) 22:31, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
"The yo scale, which does not contain minor notes..." There is no such thing as a "minor note", but there are "minor intervals". I was going to edit to reflect this, but reverted when I realised that there are minor intervals in the scale. Would people be happy with: "...does not contain a minor third interval up from the root/tonic note"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hundovir (talk • contribs) 12:31, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
"The in scale is described as while the yo scale is described as 'bright' sounding." in is described as what? 2A01:E0A:5B0:D050:F4F9:34FF:FEAC:6411 (talk) 18:17, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
