Speaking as a singer/songwriter with limited musical knowledge: I don’t care about the correct description of the scale, I just adhere to whatever accidentals and chord names are given. My own songs often change keys for a few measures (or how do you call chord progressions like c a f g?) or use scales that I don’t know how to classify (a bes cis d e f g = a freylach?), and I use that \key (major/minor) that fits most of the accidentals.
