  13. Another source on modes in the English folk music tradition is
  14. the first or second chapter of A. L. Lloyd's _Folk_Song_in_England_,
  15. in which the ever-erudite author not only discusses occurrences
  16. of each of the modes that is documented in English folk song, but
  17. also provides information about where else they occur in European
  18. folk music.  He also talks about scales that are not in the modal
  19. system at all because, if they are heptatonic, the two half-steps
  20. are not two or three full steps apart.
