Tables I think can *kinda* do this, but to doesn't actually prevent you from picking notes outside the scale.
What I would like is to have the actual note track be limited to notes on the scale, rather than the full chromatic thats there now. My music theory is not so good, so picking a scale and being able to easily choose notes within it would be super helpful.
What is wrong with allowing you to pick whatever note and quantize them to the chosen scale on playback? No matter what you enter the notes that are played will be part of your chosen scale.
And how do you think the NerdSEQ should handle the case when you dynamically change the scale?
FWIW I don't think the suggested "feature" would be an improvement as it actually reduces your freedom in comparison to what is there now.
My 2 cent, kind regards,

With the table approach, its more implicit; you dont have good visibility into how the quantization is working. the notes you enter in the pattern are not clearly related to the notes output. also the Dashboard on the main page doesn't show the quantized notes either, just the unquantized note values. its up to you to remember which track has which table applied, and which table means which scale etc. for me personally, this becomes a confusing tracking problem (no pun intended)
with a more explicit approach, as seen on other sequencers, I set a global scale, and I am (by default at least), only choosing notes from that scale when i enter them into a pattern. now everything visually matches up with the pitch outputs
