What is the Whole-Half Diminished scale?
The whole-half diminished scale alternates whole steps and half steps across eight notes. It matches a fully diminished seventh chord, so it is the scale of choice over diminished harmony and over passing diminished chords.
Dis Whole-Half Diminished is a scale, not a key. It has no key signature of its own — music that uses it is normally written in the key signature of its parent scale, with any extra accidentals added as they occur.
