Nevermind I consulted the internet. You all have a good day

I'll bet the answer was Lydian Dominant.

Not whole tone?

I can't believe I ate the whole thing.

Not whole tone?

Lydian Dominant has three contiguous whole tone intervals, but four contiguous whole tone notes. LD is half whole tone (three of six intervals) or mostly whole tone (four of seven notes). I say mostly whole tone so as not to confound half whole (50%) with the half-whole diminished scale which is also (50%) half whole tones (three of the six intervals) They aren't contiguous, but if you include both upper and lower notes of the whole tone intervals and use both note names to describe each whole tone you end of with six whole tone names, same as many notes as are in the scale (yet this scale is still called diminished rather than something more logical like the companded scale). Don't be confused; LD "contains" both augmented (tonic is LD' b5th), diminished (whole-half tonic is LD' major 3rd), and more than half of the whole tone (of the segment of four notes, the second ascending is LD's tonic).

Nice info..dont know if it is easy to apply..you did include the diminished scale in your reply..which has TWO tri-tone scales embedded in it. That should make
things a bit more interesting as a substitution option.

Lydian Dominant = Melodic Minor, right? (e.g., A melodic minor = D lydian dominant). I avoid using different modal names for a single scale.

That just means when ever you have a diminished (either version), there are TWO Lydian Dominants available one semi-tone apart... which if added together with the duplication removed gives you the chromatic scale.

So do I, if I thought of MM it would be as a mode of LD, but I never think in MM because I discovered Lydian Dominant on my own by ear first, didn't know what it was called or that it was a mode of MM, which I also had never heard of. I liked that the tri-tone (flat five of the five chord) in a two five one tri-tone sub becomes the tonic of Lydian Dominant on the flat two of the one chord... a natural chromatic descend. It's full of other nice relations, too late for me to change horses.
