Guidelines for searching by scale degree:

• Scale degree refers to a note's position in the scale. Scale degrees are numbered 1 through 7.

  1 = tonic or 'do' 2 = super-tonic or 're' 3 = mediant or 'mi' 4 = subdominant or 'fa'

  5 = dominant or 'sol' 6 = submediant or 'la' 7 = subtonic/leading tone or 'ti'

• Chromatic alterations are ignored.
• No distinction is made between major and minor keys. The number 1 is used to indicate the tonic of of each key.
• Scale degree search is not possible for the Latin Motets of the 16th century.
