Line 3:

To create non-standard key signatures, set this property directly. The format of this command is a list:

~~: <code>~~\set Staff.keyAlterations =~~</code>~~

\set Staff.keyAlterations =

~~:: <code>~~#`(((<var>octave</var> . <var>step</var>) . <var>alter</var>) ((<var>octave</var> . <var>step</var>) . <var>alter</var>) ...)~~</code>~~

#`(((<var>octave</var> . <var>step</var>) . <var>alter</var>) ((<var>octave</var> . <var>step</var>) . <var>alter</var>) ...)

where, for each element in the list, <var>octave</var> specifies the octave (0 being the octave from middle C to the B above), <var>step</var> specifies the note within the octave (0 means C and 6 means B), and <var>alter</var> is one of <code>SHARP</code>, <code>FLAT</code>, <code>DOUBLE-SHARP</code>, etc., preceded by a comma.

Line 10:

Alternatively, you can use the more concise format <code>(<var>step</var> . <var>alter</var>)</code> for each item in the list if the same alterations are used in all octaves.

For microtonal scales where a “sharp” is not 100 cents, <~~code~~>alter</~~code~~> refers to the alteration as a proportion of a 200-cent whole tone.

For microtonal scales where a “sharp” is not 100 cents, <var>alter</var> refers to the alteration as a proportion of a 200-cent whole tone.
