Public Member Functions

 FCKeySignature (eKey key=KEY_C_MAJOR)
 The constructor. Sets the default key signature to C major is no key is supplied.
 
const char * ClassName () const override
 Returns the name of the class, for diagnostic purposes. This method MUST be overwritten in each child class.
 
const PDKFRAMEWORK_CLASSID GetClassID () const override
 Returns the internal class ID for the PDK Framework class. This is implemented mostly because Lua has problems to resolve the true classes of inherited objects.
 
twobyte GetKeyMode () const
 Returns the key mode that can be used to load the associated FCCustomKeyModeDef.
 
void SetID (eKey newkey)
 Sets the key signature ID.
 
void SetTransposeAlteration (twobyte value)
 Sets the transpose alteration offset, if the key should be calculated based on a transposition of an existing key.
 
void SetTransposeSimplify (bool state)
 Sets if a transposed key should be simplified.
 
void SetMajorKey (int accidentalnumber)
 Sets the key signature to a major key.
 
void SetMinorKey (int accidentalnumber)
 Sets the key signature to a minor key.
 
eKey GetID () const
 Gets the key signature ID.
 
twobyte GetAlteration () const
 Returns the alteration for the key. Negative if the key signatures contains flats, positive if the signature contains sharps.
 
eKey GetIDWithTransposition () const
 Returns the key signature ID with the transposition (and transposition simplification) added.
 
twobyte GetTransposeAlteration () const
 Returns the current transposition alteration index.
 
bool GetTransposeSimplify () const
 Returns true if the transposed key should be simplified.
 
bool GetTransposeChromatic () const
 Returns true if the transposed key is chromatic.
 
int CalcScaleRootIndex () const
 Returns the scale's "letter root", as a 0-base index starting from 'A'. Only predefined major and minor keys are supported.
 
int CalcRootRelationIndex () const
 Returns the scale's root relation to C major in the circle of fifths. Only predefined major and minor keys are supported.
 
int CalcRootRelationAbsoluteIndex () const
 Returns the scale's root relation to C in the circle of fifths, based on the root's note. Only predefined major and minor keys are supported.
 
twobyte CalcSharps () const
 Returns the number of sharps in the key signature. Only predefined major and minor keys are supported.
 
twobyte CalcFlats () const
 Returns the number of flats in the key signature.
 
twobyte CalcTotalChromaticSteps () const
 Returns the number of chromatic steps in the key mode. For predefined keys this is always 12. For custom key signatures it is the number of equal divisions of the octave. 19-EDO returns 19, 31-EDO returns 31, 96-EDO returns 96, etc. See comments at FCTransposer for more information about EDO numbers.
 
std::vector< eHarmLev > CalcDiatonicStepsMap () const
 Returns an array (or table in Lua) specifiying the chromatic step where each diatonic step occurs. The first element is always zero. The elements always increase, and the final element must be less than CalcTotalChromaticSteps. If the array has a number of elements other than 7, it can't easily be represented on a traditional staff, so the chance of a number of elements other than 7 is vanishingly small. But Finale allows it.
 
bool IsPredefined () const
 Returns true if the key is a predefined key signature (major or minor).
 
bool IsLinear () const
 Returns true if the key mode can transpose its key signature. This includes standard major and minor keys as well as custom key signatures that can be transposed by adding or reducing the number of sharps or flats. An example of a non-linear key signature would be one that contains Eb and F#. By contrast, microtonal key modes can be linear and have key signatures, depending on how they are set up, but they rarely do.

Detailed Description

Class for key signatures. Instances of this class are auto-created by FCMeasure:GetKeySignature and FCCell:GetKeySignature when needed.

Signatures are normally set with SetMajorKey or SetMinorKey. You can also use SetID to set the signature from FCCustomKeyModeDef::GetKeyID. The owner measure/cell must be saved afterwards.

Transpositions should NOT be set in the key for chromatic transpositions.

Member Function Documentation

◆ CalcDiatonicStepsMap()

std::vector< eHarmLev > FCKeySignature::CalcDiatonicStepsMap ( ) const

Returns an array (or table in Lua) specifiying the chromatic step where each diatonic step occurs. The first element is always zero. The elements always increase, and the final element must be less than CalcTotalChromaticSteps. If the array has a number of elements other than 7, it can't easily be represented on a traditional staff, so the chance of a number of elements other than 7 is vanishingly small. But Finale allows it.

Predefined major keys always return: {0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11}.
Predefined minor keys always return: {0, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10}.

Lua-supported (0.58).

Returns
An array (or table in Lua) specifying the chromatic step where each diatonic step occurs.

◆ CalcFlats()

twobyte FCKeySignature::CalcFlats ( ) const

Returns the number of flats in the key signature.

Lua-supported.

Returns
Total number of flats in the key signature. -1 for unsupported key sigs.

◆ CalcRootRelationAbsoluteIndex()

int FCKeySignature::CalcRootRelationAbsoluteIndex ( ) const

Returns the scale's root relation to C in the circle of fifths, based on the root's note. Only predefined major and minor keys are supported.

Lua-supported.

Returns
0 through 6. -1 for unsupported key sigs. For example D major and d minor would return 1, since it's one step above C.

◆ CalcRootRelationIndex()

int FCKeySignature::CalcRootRelationIndex ( ) const

Returns the scale's root relation to C major in the circle of fifths. Only predefined major and minor keys are supported.

Lua-supported.

Returns
0 through 6. -1 for unsupported key sigs. For example D major/b minor would return 1, since it's one note above C major/a minor.

◆ CalcScaleNumber()

eHarmLev FCKeySignature::CalcScaleNumber ( eHarmLev displacement) const

Calculate the scale number of the input displacement value.

The scale number is the distance from the tonic, meaning that the number corresponds to moveable solfege syllables as 0-do, 1-re, 2-mi, 3-fa, etc.

This function is useful for tasks like determining the scale degree of an instance of FCNote or for applying the result of an ad hoc transposition to FCChord. If you use FCChord::GetTransposer to get your transposer, you do not have to worry about this. But you might use it, e.g., to transpose the root of a chord while leaving its alternate bass fixed, or vice versa.

Lua-supported (0.67)

◆ CalcScaleRootIndex()

int FCKeySignature::CalcScaleRootIndex ( ) const

Returns the scale's "letter root", as a 0-base index starting from 'A'. Only predefined major and minor keys are supported.

Lua-supported.

Returns
A 0-based index, ranging between 0 and 6. For example, C major would get 2, a minor would get 0. On error, -1 is returned.

◆ CalcSharps()

twobyte FCKeySignature::CalcSharps ( ) const

Returns the number of sharps in the key signature. Only predefined major and minor keys are supported.

Lua-supported.

Returns
Total number of sharps in the key signature. -1 for unsupported key sigs.

◆ CalcTotalChromaticSteps()

twobyte FCKeySignature::CalcTotalChromaticSteps ( ) const

Returns the number of chromatic steps in the key mode. For predefined keys this is always 12. For custom key signatures it is the number of equal divisions of the octave. 19-EDO returns 19, 31-EDO returns 31, 96-EDO returns 96, etc. See comments at FCTransposer for more information about EDO numbers.

Lua-supported (0.58).

Returns
Total number of chromatic steps in the key signature or 0 if a record could not be found for a custom key signature.

◆ ClassName()

const char * FCKeySignature::ClassName ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the name of the class, for diagnostic purposes. This method MUST be overwritten in each child class.

Lua-supported.

Implements __FCBase.

Returns
0 If the key isn't major/minor.

◆ GetClassID()

const PDKFRAMEWORK_CLASSID FCKeySignature::GetClassID ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the internal class ID for the PDK Framework class. This is implemented mostly because Lua has problems to resolve the true classes of inherited objects.
