This is an Indian raga scale known as "Todi That", "Mela Shubhapantuvarali", and/or "Raga Multani". Also "Gamakasamantam" and "Chromatic Lydian inverse". (Hey the names are almost better than the scale...  )

The rule is not sharps or flats only, but one of each note only.
So it should be A Bb C D# E F G#, as USS said.
It so happens that if you follow the "one of each note" rule with major scales, you end up with sharps only or flats only - hence the latter rule. But it doesn't apply to all scales. (Eg G harmonic minor and D harmonic minor require a mix of sharps and flats.) |
