Dur is German for "major" and Moll is German for "minor".

ok dude but i remembering i learning in school some exist moll and dur scales and in some learning blogs are in some scales used "b" and in some "#" thus i think some scales for example dorian have signing C D Eb F G A Bb there is "b" which i think is moll and lydian C D E F# G A B where there je "#" which i think is dur.. or iam absolutly on laught?:)

You can use any scales you want, but the key signature (displayed in the piano roll hint) is limited to standard key signatures, i.e. major (dur) and the relative minor (moll).

The use of flats (b) or sharps (#) in scales depends on the scale and is down to the fact that you only want one of each letter in the scale, i.e. you don't want two A notes, such as A and A#; instead you have A and Bb.

For example the scale of Bb major is Bb C D Eb F G A; one each of A, B, C, D, E, F and G. If you were to use A# instead, the scale would be A# C D D# F G A - giving you two As and two Ds; but no B or E.

I've no idea if you can change the key name displayed in FL to flats or sharps and personally I don't care.


Note: In German (at least traditional, non-internet German) notation, Bb = B and B = H, but that makes everything super-confusing and I'd urge you to use the standard English conventions online or everyone will be confused.

no. Dorian has a raised sixth degree, there your 'B', or German "H", compared to [the Bb in] natural minor.

these modes are not going to correspond with your software limited to strict terms major or natural minor, unless you know at once the relationship of them to the major aka Ionian mode.

some scales used "b" and in some "#"

Yes, some scales have sharps (#) and some have flats (b).
But the presence or absence of sharps and/or flats does not in itself tell you whether the scale is major, minor, or a mode (such as Dorian, Lydian etc.)

So, G major has an F# in it, but F major has a Bb in it.
E minor has F# in it, but D minor has Bb in it.
