hi all, starting on D, I play D D# f G g# a# b c# d over a half-diminished chord....   how is this scale called?

If it had an E natural rather than an Eb, it would be the dimWH scale: D E F G Ab Bb B C# D If it had a C natural instead of the C#, it would be the Locrian with a chromatic 6th (B) added in: D Eb F G Ab Bb B C D The C# seems a bit odd anyway against the b7th degree of the DŲ7 chord. Your 8-note scale is not listed in http://www.geocities.com/scaleopia/8notes.html
