scalefind is a command-line program which finds all scales in the program
that contain the notes passed to the program.
When no additional arguments are passed:
$ ./scalefind

USAGE:
(./)scalefind (args)
ARGS:
scalefind accepts strings of a size no larger than 12.
the args must contain only the characters in the table below:
Note | Character
C | c
C# | C
D | d
D# | D
E | e
F | f
F# | F
G | g
G# | G
A | a
A# | A
B | b
Any string arg represents a set of notes,
ex. "cFA" represents C, F# and A#.
OUTPUT:
For any given arg, scalefind returns the scales
which contain all the named notes.
The program is always guaranteed to return the
chromatic scale.
Happy usage!
When we pass C, D# and A:
$ ./scalefind cDa
