Thanks for your reply!
In diatonically use,you said tha the sound quality of each mode is reflected on the chord that is built on that scale degree.Do you mean that a D Dorian will work best than an A Aeolian an D- chord?
Correct me if i'm wrong:if we are in tonality of C major and we use D dorian on D minor chord,E phrigyan on E minor chord,F Lydian on F major chord,G mixolidyan on G major chord, A aeolian on A minor chord and B Locrian on B diminished triad (if we are using chords built only with three notes) we are using modes diatonically.But if we use modes diatonically, we always use the same 7 notes!In improvising you can play all notes in each manner,so how can anyone recognize which mode are you using?
Or maybe when you use modes diatonically you have to build melodic cell(for example 1st 3rd and 4th note of the mode) and repeat it over all chords;in my example you should have

1)Cmajor
Related mode:Ionian
Notes: C E F
2)Aminor
Related mode:Aeolian
Notes: A C D
3)Dminor
Related mode:Dorian
Notes: D F G
4)G7
Related mode:Mixolidyan
Notes: G B C

IS THIS THE WAY TO USE MODES DIATONICALLY?
If it is not can you make me a chord progression with related sequence of notes to use over any chord?
Can you make me other example using modes with tonal system?
Thanks!
