Improving data

Scale names

The scale name data lives in the following separate repository:

https://github.com/seancolsen/music-theory-data

I chose a separate repo so that other projects can use (and help maintain) this data too! It's stored in yaml format for ease of editing.

Chords

The data for chords lives within this repo at src/Data/chords.ts.
