Once you have decided on the number of divisions your octave has, and how many divisions are assigned to each interval, in the Divisions section of the dialog, you can assign existing and create custom accidentals for each raising/lowering pitch delta you want to notate in the Edit Accidental dialog.

You can arrange these accidentals into a custom key signature in the Edit Custom Key Signature dialog.
