The <key-accidental> element

Parent element: <key>

Non-traditional key signatures are represented using a list of altered tones. The <key-accidental> element indicates the accidental to be displayed in the key signature, represented in the same manner as the <accidental> element. It is used for disambiguating microtonal accidentals. The different element names indicate the different meaning of altering notes in a scale versus altering a sounding pitch.
