-    If set to false, then keys are the same in all octaves.  If set

-    The default value is @code{#f}.  Can be set to @code{#t} with

-      @item @code{C}@indexcode{C}

-
-      @item @code{1xxx}@indexcode{1xxx}  
-        All time signatures are typeset with a single
-        digit, e.g. 3/2 is written as 3. (Any symbol starting
-       with the digit @code{1} will do.)
