6 The commonly used @code{\\key} command sets the @code{keySignature}
7 property, in the @code{Staff} context.
9 To create non-standard key signatures, set this property directly. The
10 format of this command is a list:
12 @code{\\set Staff.keySignature = #`(((octave . step) . alter) ((octave
13 . step) . alter) ...)} where, for each element in the list,
14 @code{octave} specifies the octave (0@tie{}being the octave from
15 middle@tie{}C to the B above), @code{step} specifies the note within the
16 octave (0@tie{}means@tie{}C and 6@tie{}means@tie{}B), and @code{alter} is
17 @code{,SHARP ,FLAT ,DOUBLE-SHARP} etc. (Note the leading comma.)
19 Alternatively, for each item in the list, using the more concise format
20 @code{(step . alter)} specifies that the same alteration should hold in all
23 Here is an example of a possible key signature for generating a whole-tone
