<h2 class="unnumberedsec">Applying note head styles depending on the step of the scale</h2>
<p>The <code>shapeNoteStyles</code> property can be used to define various note
head styles for each step of the scale (as set by the key signature or
the "tonic" property). This property requires a set of symbols, which
can be purely arbitrary (geometrical expressions such as
<code>triangle</code>, <code>cross</code>, and <code>xcircle</code> are allowed) or based
on old American engraving tradition (some latin note names are also
allowed).
</p>
<p>That said, to imitate old American song books, there are several
predefined note head styles available through shortcut commands such as
<code>\aikenHeads</code> or <code>\sacredHarpHeads</code>.
</p>
<p>This example shows different ways to obtain shape note heads, and
demonstrates the ability to transpose a melody without losing the
correspondence between harmonic functions and note head styles.

<h2 class="unnumberedsec">Dodecaphonic-style accidentals for each note including naturals</h2>
<p>In early 20th century works, starting with Schoenberg,
Berg and Webern (the "Second" Viennese school), every pitch in the
twelve-tone scale has to be regarded as equal, without any hierarchy
such as the classical (tonal) degrees. Therefore, these composers
print one accidental for each note, even at natural pitches, to
emphasize their new approach to music theory and language.
</p>
<p>This snippet shows how to achieve such notation rules.

<h2 class="unnumberedsec">Non-traditional key signatures</h2>
<p>The commonly used <code>\key</code> command sets the <code>keySignature</code>
property, in the <code>Staff</code> context.
</p>
<p>To create non-standard key signatures, set this property directly. The
format of this command is a list:
</p>
<p><code> \set Staff.keySignature = #`(((octave . step) . alter) ((octave
. step) . alter) ...) </code> where, for each element in the list,
<code>octave</code> specifies the octave (0 being the octave from middle C to
the B above), <code>step</code> specifies the note within the octave (0 means
C and 6 means B), and <code>alter</code> is <code>,SHARP ,FLAT ,DOUBLE-SHARP</code>
etc. (Note the leading comma.) The accidentals in the key signature
will appear in the reverse order to that in which they are specified.
</p>
<p>Alternatively, for each item in the list, using the more concise format
<code>(step . alter)</code> specifies that the same alteration should hold in
all octaves.
</p>
<p>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.
</p>
<p>Here is an example of a possible key signature for generating a
whole-tone scale:
</p>
<pre class="verbatim">\relative c' {
\set Staff.keySignature = #`(((0 . 3) . ,SHARP)
((0 . 5) . ,FLAT)
((0 . 6) . ,FLAT))

<h2 class="unnumberedsec">Tweaking clef properties</h2>
<p>The command <code>\clef "treble_8"</code> is equivalent to setting
<code>clefGlyph</code>, <code>clefPosition</code> (which controls the vertical
position of the clef), <code>middleCPosition</code> and
<code>clefOctavation</code>. A clef is printed when any of the properties
except <code>middleCPosition</code> are changed.
</p>
<p>Note that changing the glyph, the position of the clef, or the
octavation does not in itself change the position of subsequent notes
on the staff: the position of middle C must also be specified to do
this. The positional parameters are relative to the staff center line,
positive numbers displacing upwards, counting one for each line and
space. The <code>clefOctavation</code> value would normally be set to 7, -7,
15 or -15, but other values are valid.
</p>
<p>When a clef change takes place at a line break the new clef symbol is
printed at both the end of the previous line and the beginning of the
new line by default. If the warning clef at the end of the previous
line is not required it can be suppressed by setting the <code>Staff</code>
property <code>explicitClefVisibility</code> to the value
<code>end-of-line-invisible</code>. The default behavior can be recovered
with <code>\unset Staff.explicitClefVisibility</code>.
</p>
<p>The following examples show the possibilities when setting these
properties manually. On the first line, the manual changes preserve the
standard relative positioning of clefs and notes, whereas on the second
line, they do not.
