The Meter/Key view
What Is key?
In musical terms, a key is a system of related notes based on the tonic (the base pitch) of a major or
minor scale. A key signature is a group of sharps or flats placed immediately to the right of the clef
sign. The key signature tells a performer that certain notes are to be systematically raised or
lowered.
There are fifteen different key signatures—seven with sharps, seven with flats, and one without
either. The fifteen key signatures correspond to fifteen different major scales, and to fifteen different
minor scales (for example, the key signature for C major is the same as for A minor).
The key signature affects several things in SONAR:
• The key signature controls how SONAR displays notes. In the Event List view and some dialog
boxes, SONAR converts the MIDI pitch number to labels like Db (D-flat in the key of C).
• The Staff view uses the key signature to display notation correctly.
• How the notes are transposed when the
Diatonic
option is enabled.
The key signature affects only how SONAR displays pitches for you. Changing the key signature
does not affect the MIDI key number (pitch) stored with each note. To actually transpose pitches, use
the Transpose command or edit notes individually by using the Piano Roll, Event List, or Staff views.
Frequently you use only one key signature for an entire project, but SONAR supports multiple key
signatures and multiple meter changes in a project. The default key is C. You can change these
defaults by creating your own default template file. For more information, see
Opening the Meter/Key view
To open the Meter/Key view, choose
Views > Meter/Key
.
The Meter/Key view displays a list of meter/key changes in the project. There is always an entry for
measure 1, because there must always be a meter and key signature for the project. The default
meter is 4/4 and the default key is C. You can change these defaults by creating your own default
template file. For more information, see
Each meter/key change has the following properties:
Note:
Groove clips are not affected by changes to your project’s key. Groove clips follow the
default project pitch value, specified in
Project > Set Default Groove Clip Pitch
, and Pitch
markers in the Time Ruler. For more information, see
