@optilude@techhub.social one confusing thing so far:
On the Guitar Practice page, I have a circle of fifths at the top. So if I choose a key, say F major, I have F Ionian below. Great.
But if I change the mode dropdown I noticed it keeps F as the root but shows me, the mode like F Aeolian. My expectation is actually that we stay in modes of F major and you’d show me Dm (D Aeolian) for the rest of the page. The circle of fifths really tells me major keys in the outer ring & their relative minor keys on the inner ring; to choose D there to get to D minor is confusing.
If I’m trying to find a mode like D Aeolian, it might make sense to just choose those with dropdowns?

@mathias@metalhead.club Thank you! I agree. The way you describe it working is more logical. I think it should then also remove “parent” reference but explicitly say scale name so have “Dm Aeolian” somewhere when I select Aeolian mode of F. And also preselect the Scale tab to Dm Aeolian.
