Changing the tonality system

You can change the tonality system used in your project at key signature changes, including changing to a custom tonality system you have created.

Prerequisite

You have created or imported any custom tonality systems you want to use.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, click Panels Panels button, then Key Signatures, Tonality Systems, and Accidentals Key Signatures, Tonality Systems, and Accidentals button in the Notations toolbox to show the Key Signatures, Tonality Systems, and Accidentals panel.
  2. In the music area, select an item at the position from which you want to change the tonality system.
  3. Without deselecting the item, select the tonality system you want from the menu in the Tonality System section of the Key Signatures, Tonality Systems, and Accidentals panel.
  4. Input a new key signature.
    Note

    • If you do not want to show a key signature, you can input an atonal key signature.

    • Key signatures in the Used in This Flow section of the Key Signatures, Tonality Systems, and Accidentals panel retain their original tonality system. We recommend inputting a new key signature from scratch when changing the tonality system, such as by using the popover or the Key Signatures section of the Key Signatures, Tonality Systems, and Accidentals panel.

Result

The tonality system is changed from the key signature you input until the next key signature with a tonality system change or the end of the flow.

If you selected a tonality system that allows microtonal accidentals, such as Equal temperament (24-EDO, Stein-Zimmermann), microtonal accidentals become available in the Accidentals section of the Key Signatures, Tonality Systems, and Accidentals panel.
