Description

Currently, the list of scales is missing the [Harmonic major scale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_major_scale) in [this list of scales](https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/blob/e215cd0c3120baf6badcb25443246c03a9f2cec0/src/core/InstrumentFunctions.cpp#L117-L145).

I am not sure where to add it as these aren't alphabetical, but it would look something like this:

```c++
{ QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP( "InstrumentFunctionNoteStacking", "Harmonic major" ), { 0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, -1 } }
```
