It was a lot of work. I'd like to have used many more tunes, but there's a limit to what my ears can stand. > >Thanks for the Locrian tune.

I wrote that one in order to have an example of the mode to put in my mode tutorial. There is also John Kirkpatrick's "Gravediggers Song", but that's hexatonic. I don't know of any traditional example. The other scale that I can't find any examples for is the pentatonic Pi-5. I suspect that there aren't any, as that scale involves dropping the fifth, and it's hard to imagine a tune without a fifth in it.
