Music: Practice & Theory Asked on October 25, 2021
I’m looking for a name for the minor scale with a flattened fifth note.
WHWWHWW -> WHWHWWW
C min: C D Eb F G Ab Bb; C ???: C D Eb F Gb Ab Bb
The closest my searching has come to an answer was this SE:PT question of the same name (and yet not the same question?).
I know this scale as "locrian ♮2"

In addition to the other correct answers here...
Lydian dominant = C - D - E - F# - G - A - Bb - C
= WWWHWHW
Thus the third mode = E - F# - G - A - Bb - C - D - E
= WHWHWWW
Or, transposed: C - D - Eb - F - Gb - Ab - Bb - C

The bottom of your question has been answered correctly. Just to help and give some additional information referring to your comment:

Putting the notes into a better known order gives the melodic minor, rising (or the jazz melodic minor. E♭ F G♭ A♭ B♭ C D.
Keeping the same order but starting on its 6th note gives a mode of that. C D E♭ F G♭ A♭ B♭.
This mode has a couple of names - Aeolian ♭5 and Locrian ♯2.

C D Eb F Gb Ab Bb
It's 6th mode of melodic minor scale (it has the same notes as Eb melodic minor).
