J Dunlap Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I am entering one of my pieces for orchestra into an international composer's competition, and everything has gone well except one--the music program I have puts the key signtures on the wrong staff lines!! :cool: Is this a real problem or not? Will they go by the lines the parts of the key signature are on, or by the number of sharps or flats? (If I were judging a competition I would go by the number of flats instead of judging the guy as a nut who has Db and Gb for a two-flat signature, heh.) Please someone who knows reply right away so that I can get this off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 The lines they are on are just as important as the number. If I have a key signature with one flat but place this flat on the A line, we are not in F major, we're in some kind of wacky hybrid of F minor and F major. I suggest you use a different program if possible, or if the worst comes to the worst write in the key signature by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
