   9 The commonly used @code{\\key} command sets the @code{keySignature}
  10 property, in the @code{Staff} context.
  11
  12 To create non-standard key signatures, set this property directly. The
  13 format of this command is a list:
  14
  15 @code{ \\set Staff.keySignature = #`(((octave . step) . alter) ((octave
  16 . step) . alter) ...) } where, for each element in the list,
  17 @code{octave} specifies the octave (0 being the octave from middle C to
  18 the B above), @code{step} specifies the note within the octave (0 means
  19 C and 6 means B), and @code{alter} is @code{,SHARP ,FLAT ,DOUBLE-SHARP}
  20 etc. (Note the leading comma.)
  21
  22
  23 Alternatively, for each item in the list, using the more concise format
  24 @code{(step . alter)} specifies that the same alteration should hold in
  25 all octaves.

  28 Here is an example of a possible key signature for generating a
  29 whole-tone scale:
