Here is an example of what scale degrees look like when engraved in the theory line:

To enter a scale degree, click on the theory-line entry and type text that includes the scale degree's position, which may be optionally preceded by a chromatic inflection if the degree is not diatonic in the scale. The position of a scale degree is a number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7, indicating the position of that note in the scale (key). Note that in absence of a key, the pitch C is considered scale degree 1.

scale degree:	text input:
tonic	1
supertonic	2
mediant	3
subdominant	4
dominant	5
submediant	6
subtonic/leading tone	7

The position may be optionally preceded by a chromatic inflection indicating that the scale degree is either raised or lowered from its normal diatonic position in the key. A raised degree will appear in the theory line with an up arrow (↑) and a lowered degree will have a down arrow (↓).

inflection:	text input:
raised	+
lowered	-

*Notes: For a raised scale degree, type a '+' followed by the degree number. For a lowered scale degree, type a '-' followed by the degree number.
