The 変ト Harmonic Major scale contains 7 notes: 変ト, 変イ, 変ロ, 変ハ, 変ニ, ホ♭♭, ヘ.
Harmonic major is the major scale with a lowered sixth. It borrows the flat sixth from the parallel minor, which is what gives the scale its bittersweet quality, and it fits naturally over major chords with a minor subdominant.
変ト Harmonic Major 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.
