The Locrian mode, because of the unstable diminished interval between its root and fifth, is very seldom used as a the main mode of a piece. It is, however, used in modal [[jazz]].

There is yet another meaning of mode in music which has nothing to do with a scale. It also describes certain rhythmic practices in 13th and 14th-century music. The difference is usually made clear by referring to this as "Rhythmic Mode."
