Formula and methodology
Formula: The displayed key signature is the conventional collection of ordered sharps or flats associated with the selected major or minor tonic.
Key signatures summarize recurring accidentals at the beginning of a notated passage. This reference uses the standard circle-of-fifths spellings for common major and minor keys, including enharmonic edge cases such as C♯ major and C♭ major.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Tonic — 15 choices
- Mode — 2 choices
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Tonic | D |
| Mode | major |
D major uses 2 sharps: F♯ and C♯
Assumptions and limits
- The tonic uses conventional tonal spelling and the mode is major or natural minor.
- The result describes the notated key signature, not every accidental that may appear temporarily in a score.
- Modes, modal signatures, microtonal notation, and alternate enharmonic editorial choices are not selected.
