Everyscale.info is a free resource maintained by Kieran Burling. Built from scratch in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, the site is hosted at home on a raspberry pi computer the size of a credit card. All the notation is rendered by VexFlow, an open-source music notation rendering API. Click here for the changelog if you'd like to find out about recent updates and added features. You can also control the site using keyboard shortcuts. Click here to find out about them.
This website uses an algorithmic process, which means it doesn't have a library of pre-written scales like a book would; it generates what you want on the fly. That's why it can show you all sorts of silly things that would be impractical to include in a book, like any enharmonic spelling of a scale. It's also very expandable: all it needs to learn a new scale is a chromatic recipe, and from that it will draw it starting on any note, with any number of octaves, in any clef, formatted in any instrument range it knows.
I would like to make everyscale.info as good a community resource as possible. If you've tried the site and spot a bug, have any ideas about how I can make it better, or there's a feature you would like added, let me know and I'll implement if I can. Also, if you play an instrument that's not yet supported and want to help add it, I'd love to hear from you.
Fingering patterns are the only thing that can't be generated automatically. I'm slowly adding options for the violin, but need help expanding to other instruments. If you would like to contribute fingering patterns then please get in contact!
