Re: new key signatures

[Mark Dewey]

Thanks; it works wonders.

Now that I know how to do all that, I'm wondering, can
you notes three fourths
of the way flat or sharp?  Let's say C three fourths
sharp would be like
cis minus half of an eh, if that makes any sense.  In
other words, can we have
eighth-tones?  Like C plus three eighth steps, I mean.
 And . . . can you make key
signatures for those?  I have an Indian whistle that
seems to be in the key of
E three fourths flat mixolydian, or nigh unto it.  It
would be interesting to be
able to replicate these sounds on a midi, and to
represent them on sheet music.

Thanks!
