FA-80985 / Music interval and transposition theory / Member archive

Key signature and measure accidental resolution: measure accidentals leak across barlines · case 05

A sharp written in one measure still raises the same note after the barline, so F4 after | stays F#4 even in C major.

Case contract

Input [fifths, tokens]. fifths -7..7 gives signature sharps on F C G D A E B or flats on B E A D G C F. Tokens are "|" (barline) or letter + optional sign (# b x bb n) + single-digit octave. An explicit sign sets the alteration for that letter in that octave until the next barline (n = 0 cancels the signature); otherwise the signature applies. Return the MIDI numbers (C4 = 60) or None if any token or the signature is invalid.

Why this case matters

Pitch spelling and interval arithmetic decide the notes that notation, transposition and analysis tools display or play.
