Lets say there is a part in the song that has a dominant chord B major but I use a pattern that's built of

B A# B C# D# E F# G A(without #) B ? How would You name that scale according to B as a root note? I might miss something...it's like close to the F# locrian but 5th step doesn't fit... Alos I include both A and A# a bit like in the beebop scale...Any ideas ?

Cool. Yeah a lot of the time those notes that don't make sense in a scale can make sense when looked at as ornaments. So I usually start there if I see a note that doesn't fit the scale I'm on, and try to figure out if it's part of a neighbor tone, passing tone, or other ornament. Then dig into the rest of the scale notes from there.
