Re: Key signatures in modes other than Ionian & Aeolian

[Al Rushing]

The music is forced to have one sharp or it will be unreadable to musicians.

I would say suppress the key name.  Musicians know what key it is in already.

Subject: Key signatures in modes other than Ionian & Aeolian

Hello all,

my question is not exclusive to LilyPond, but I hope you can enlighten me 
anyway.

I am transcribing a song in D Mixolydian and am wondering which key signature 
to notate it in – d \mixolydian (because that is the mode it is in) or d \major 
(because a D major chord clearly is the tonic of the song). I’d rather notate 
it in d \mixolydian, which seems correct to me, but might it be easier to read 
(especially for non-professional musicians) in d \major just with a natural 
sign before every c?
What is everyone doing in such a case? Any experiences which is easier to read? 
Also, could the style of music matter? In Early Music I’d be even more inclined 
to notate in d \mixolydian, but in this case it is a pop song where people 
might only expect to see major or minor keys.

Curious to hear what you all think.

Thanks,
Peter

I suspect Python can do it.I plan on trying that in the future.

Python is C based.

There is no API.  You can call it on the command line.
