Hmm, no. You are mixing up frequency with pitch class. (Ab)using transposition for changing
pitch only works for equal temprament (but OP referes to Scala tunings).
Even in my rather limited world of baroque music playing I've used: 440, 415 (modern pseudo-baroque),
432, 392 (french low), 456 (high Venetian), 517 ...
That has nothing whatsoever todo with transposition.

Just my 0.2 $
