Key signature
Setting or changing the key signature is done with the \key
command.
\key pitch type
Here, type should be \major or \minor to get
pitch-major or pitch-minor, respectively.
The standard mode names \ionian,
\locrian, \aeolian, \mixolydian, \lydian,
\phrygian, and \dorian are also defined.
This command sets the context property Staff.keySignature.
Non-standard key signatures can be specified by setting this property
directly, see the generated documentation for KeySignature
.
The printed signature is a KeySignature grob.
