Do your readers understand the terminology? I am only asking to save you some time - e.g.
If you put the F LYDIAN up, you can then say to create the Lydian augmented sharpen the 5th, to create a a Lydian Dominant, flatten the 7th so on and so forth.
It's cool that you write it all out for them, but if they understand it, then you can probably write more in less time.

 

That's right, but I also wanted them to see the other scales inside .
For example F Lydian b3
FGAbBCDEFG
Has inside it
C Harmonic major
CDEFGAbBC

 

Let's look at our main major form
F Lydian FGABCDEF
1.FACE Fmaj7
2.GBDF G7
3.BDFA Bmin7b5
4.DFAC Dmin7
5.EGBD Emin7

Let's see if we wanted to use C major
C Lydian CDEF#GABC
1.CEGB Cmaj7
2.DF#AC D7
3.F#ACE. F#min7b5
4.ACEG Amin7
5.BDF#A Bmin7

How about G major
G Lydian GABC#DEF#G
1.GBDF# Gmaj7
2.AC#EG A7
3.C#EGB C#min7b5
4.EGBD Emin7
5.F#AC#E F#min7

How about D major ?
D lydian DEF#G#ABC#D

1.DF#AC# Dmaj7
2.EG#BD E7
3.G#BDF# G#min7b5
4.BDF#A Bmin7
5.C#EG#B C#min7

 

Building melody out of structure .

It's very important that we develop a system
Where we are able to take a form build a Melody ,
Then apply variations using techniques to explore every possibility .
I am going to show you some ways of doing this in a unity based system.

First we have our mode lastly for a certain duration of time .

Let's say that this is F Lydian and it lasts around 16 bars. ( Start off easy)

So that gives us this .
F Lydian FGABCDEF.... Fmaj13#11... FACEGBD
.
Step 2 is seeing our five flavors
1.FACE Fmaj7
2.GBDF G7
3.BDFA Bmin7b5
4.DFAC Dmin7
5.EGBD Emin7

Now these are the information for the form.
It's where everything we do next comes from .

Let's first understand our options with inversions.

1.FACE, ACEF, CEFA, EFAC. ...Fmaj7
2.GBDF, BDFG, DFGB, FGBD....G7
3.BDFA, DFAB, FABD, ABDF,.....Bmin7b5 (Dmin6
4.DFAC, FACD, ACDF, CDFA,...Dmin7,(Fmaj6
5.EGBD, GBDE, BDGE, DGEB, .Emin7,(Gmaj6

We can use these as spread out or close together as we want , and we can break them down to TRIADS.

Let's look at what we will have in the Bass register.

FAC , ACF, CFA
This can be spread out or inversions it can be
F, or FC, or FAC, or FACE ( also inversions.

Let's take the triad part first.

FAC, ACF, CFA, FAC

Each will last a measure .

Next let's decide from the 5 flavors .

Let's take Bmin7b5 BDFA and Emin7 EGBD

This will give us some good variety .

Our bass is
FAC, ACF, CFA, FAC ( spread TRIADS in bass

Now on top register let's do .

BDFA, FABD, EGBD, BDEG
Now we have 16 bars cyclical pattern structure.

Let's make each measure 1234

We will create a rhythmic pattern
1 is always the Bass spread triad which rings till 1
2 is always upper chord which rings out
4.is always upper chord which rings until 2
12341234

.this will make it more musical.

So
FAC hits on 1 and rings through
BDFA comes in on 2 rings until hits on 4 again.
ACF hits on 1 rings through
FABD hits on 2 rings until hits on 4 again
CFA hits on 1 rings through
EGBD hits on 2 rings until hits on 4 again
FAC hits in 1 and rings through
BDEG hits on 2 rings until hits on 4 again.

Then we repeat it.
