Type: Dictionary
Describes a part's instrument transposition, including the transposition interval and number of fifths at which key signatures "flip" enharmonically.
Keys
| Name | Type | Required? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| interval | Yes | ||
| integer (signed) | No | When transposing key signatures to accommodate this part, "keyFifthsFlipsAt" describes the point at which the key signature "flips" enharmonically (to avoid an overly large number of sharps or flats). Non-negative values (including 0) mean "subtract 12 fifths," and negative values means "add 12." If this value isn't provided, default behavior is to not flip the key signature. |
|
| boolean | No | Specifies that this instrument prefers displaying written pitches (e.g., transposed pitches) even in the context of concert-pitch scores. By convention, this is applied to piccolos, glockenspiels and double basses. If not provided, this should be interpreted as false. |
