Unfortunately I'm not very musically literate...oops... but an example would be C-Major, with C as the key, and major as the scale ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_major ). So is there a use case for say one part (ie woodwind) in a composition outputting notes of one key/scale while another part (ie strings) simultaneously outputs notes of some other key/scale? I'm wondering how people would rate the importance of being able to do that.
