Uh, no? This LSR _defines_ the \scale markup to create those diagrams.
_After_ loading the definition, this is what the \scale markup will do.

Which is the reason that the name "\scale" chosen in the LSR code is a
fabulously bad idea and will likely break unrelated code.

Well, take the LSR code, and where it says "\scale" or "scale", write
"\scale-diagram" or "scale-diagram", respectively.
Since that changes both definition and use of "\scale", you should be
fine. Possibly also requires using convert-ly for converting from 2.14
syntax to 2.16 syntax, but I haven't checked.
