Dorian/Aeolian Gapped Scales and Hybrids

The Aeolian scale is the same as the Dorian scale except that the sixth note is flattened by a semitone. To convert a Dorian to an Aeolian key signature, add a flat to, or remove a sharp from, it. Likewise, to convert an Aeolian to a Dorian key signature, remove a flat from, or add a sharp to, it. The Dorian and Aeolian scales are thus quite similar to each other, and there are quite a few Dorian/Aeolian gapped scales and quite a few Dorian/Aeolian hybrids. Here are some examples.
