How do you name a major scale?
Rule 2: Every major scale has one and only one note of each "note name," and they occur in (cyclic) alphabetic order. The note names are A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Possible variants are "sharp" and "flat," and occasionally "double-sharp" and "double-flat." The white keys are given the unadorned note names.
