Took me a few tries to find "Hungarian Folk or Byzantine Major Gypsy" scale as I first tried the other aliases:

1. Double Harmonic (main English language theoretical name) [1]

2. Byzantine (finds it, but in my experience is known as "Byzatine scale" and "Major Gypsy" is another scale name -- it is weird to see them glued together.

3. Mayamalavagowla

4. Bhairav Raga

5. Arabic (Hijaz Kar)

It would be nice if a given scale had all its known names attached to it.

It's actually weird because the search option also searches through the aliases of scales, so those aliases might not be present in my database...

Yeah it could use a more accessible categorization for named exotic scales. The amount crammed in there is impressive but depending on what you're looking for, it's too much.

I tried to categorize it in a comfortable way, but I'll look into changing it to a more convenient alternative.
