Is there no way to add more scales to the list? There's a good number of scales in the list, but obviously there are hundreds more used in the world.

It would be cool if there was a simple way to add our own. Maybe I'm overlooking it in the manual.

Totally agree !
Custom scales are a must. Even for simple tasks : let’s say I want to use A minor, but only degrees I, III, IV and VII ?

I would like to use, for instance, the Persian Scale. I was excited for the new project wide scale selector, the ability to add custom scales seems like a no-brainer. I hope this is added asap.

The trick is to use the Tuning system to design your own scale and add it to Live, and here's the dedicated website.

^^ Thats nice

But not exaclty the same, because before you could make clips to jump into a specific (usermade) scale and it was reflected on the push grid.
(it do it now also, but only with the pre-defined scales from the list)
Now i think you need to choose an ableton scale from the list and bend it into your own scale. I love Tuning but was happy to load the scl into the synth, because if i change tracks they can use different tunings. It was just nice using Track7 with userscale X and Track 8 with userscale Y just by swithing in Notemode-Grid between them.

At the Moment no Idea how to reproduce it. I guess 12.2 will not bring Userscales back.
I imagine a button at the end of the scale list: "User-Scales" which just load the Userscales into Push.
