As a diatonic function, the leading tone is the seventh scale degree of any diatonic scale when the distance between it and the tonic is a single semitone.In diatonic scales in which there is a whole tone between the seventh scale degree and the tonic, such as the Mixolydian mode, the seventh degree is called the "subtonic".However, in modes without a leading tone, such as Dorian and Mixolydian, a raised seventh is often featured during cadences , such as in the harmonic minor scale.
