The eight musical modes. Created by bdesham with GNU LilyPond and post-processed with GraphicConverter.

The original version of this image was made by en:User:Hyacinth. The fs in the image are those designated by Curtis as "final". The sources listed at that image page are:

  • Judd, Cristle Collins (ed.) (1998). Tonal Structures of Early Music. New York: Garland Publishing. ISBN 0815323883
    • Liane Curtis. "Mode".

Here's the LilyPond source I used:

\version "2.4.2"

  \key c \major
  \time 8/1
  
  % prevent bar number display on the second line
  \set Score.barNumberVisibility = #(every-nth-bar-number-visible 100)
