Both [scale]s, and [range] are externals, so they don't ship with a
standard Pd and one has to chose which one to use. Gem is one of the
oldest collections of externals and its [scale] is a very important
object, so I'd reserve the name "scale" for the one in Gem. 

If you think so, too, then every other [scale] has to get a different
name. You can use the maxlib "scale" by refering to it as [maxlib/scale]
in Pd-extended. 

Personally I'd rather use an abstraction that is easier to rename. I use 
m_scale.pd from the RjDj library:
