You are missing the F flat scale, I need to learn it ASAP. Thank you for your time.

Hey @hohnstei, sorry for the delay in my response.

As it turns out, F-flat major (the scale for which I assume you are searching) cannot be written using a traditional key signature (the notes are F-flat, G-flat, A-flat, B-double-flat, C-flat, D-flat, and E-flat) and hence is not included in ScaleBook's library. The enharmonically equivalent E major scale is used instead. I'm renaming the title of this issue to "Theoretical scales" and will definitely consider adding this feature in a future release (implementing theoretical scales will require a big change to the natural language processing engine in addition to adding all the new scales).

Pro tip: For a list of all scales starting on a particular note you can ask ScaleBook "Scales starting on ...".

Thanks for reaching out! I'm really open to feedback and am keen to know what else you think.
