Key signatures
Key signatures are the markings that show the current key of music by indicating which notes in the scale for that key are sharpened or flattened. They are shown at the start of each system on every applicable staff.
Tonality systems
The term tonality system is used in Dorico Elements to encompass three crucial elements that together make up the concept of tonality.
Custom tonality systems
Custom tonality systems allow you to specify a unique number of divisions of the octave for your project. This can be useful for music not based on traditional Western harmony. Custom tonality systems are only available in Dorico Elements if you open a project that already contains them, and you cannot change where they apply.
