Music theory cheat sheet

If we're being technical, then the bit about time signatures isn't correct - in compound time, the top number doesn't define the number of beats, but if divided by 3, gives the beats. Eg 6/8 has 2 beats per bar, 12/8 has 4 beats per bar. And it follows that the bottom number doesn't represent what kind of note gets one beat. I'm not sure there's a neat way to explain it in a few bullet points though - you'd need to distinguish cases where something is in compound time, vs simple time and there is no universal rule (you might be able to say, its when the top is >3, and /3 for example 6, 9, 12, etc).

Apart from that I can't see any faults. I'd have included the bebop scale though.
