Commentators thus tend to identify diatonic and pentatonic stacks as "tone clusters" only when they consist of four or more successive notes in the scale.

This means that the chords can be ordered cyclically so that the series of intervals between successive notes is the same read forward or backward.

A sequence of successive natural notes starting from C is an example of major scale, called C-major scale.

It is produced by simultaneous ascending and descending major scales beginning in separate stereo channels with each successive note being switched to the opposite channel.

The first syllable of each hemistich (half line of verse) has given its name to a successive note.

Particularly characteristic is a figure where successive notes of an arpeggio are each preceded by an appoggiatura-like grace note one semitone below.

A note in a line may be split into a sequence of successive notes such that:

The distance between two successive notes in a scale is called a scale step.

In it, the pitch ratio between any two successive notes of the scale is exactly the twelfth root of two (or about 1.05946).
