![]() ![]() It did not function like an actual key signature it was just for show. I tried using the "Create Key Signature" option in the master palette to create that key, but it was obsolete. The key of E major is indicated with four sharps in the key signature and is played using four black keys on the piano F, G, C, D. If we look back to the key signature at the beginning, we can see that it has 3 flats notated: E, A and B, just like our scale Key signatures are like a shorthand symbol to represent these different scale patterns. The Lesson steps then explain how to write the key signature using both clefs, including the display order and line / space staff positions of the notes, and the sharp / flat accidentals. So, the notes of the E ( E flat) major scale are: E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E. I would very much prefer to use D-flat major instead of C-sharp major, but I cannot. The Solution below shows the Eb major key signature on the treble clef and bass clef. D-flat major for an E-flat instrument is actually the key of F-flat major in concert pitch which is a theoretical key, and musescore does not allow theoretical keys for some reason. The reason why is because E-major concert transposed for an E-flat instrument is C-sharp major and not D-flat major. However, musescore only gives us one option, and that is to write it in the key of C-sharp major with seven sharps. If I am writing music for alto saxophone that is in the key of E major concert, I could either write the piece in C-sharp major with seven sharps in the key signature, or I could write it in the key of D-flat major with five flats in the key signature. ![]()
