key signature

Noun

pl: key signatures

This term is a technical musical designation used primarily in music theory and composition. It functions as a shorthand for the performer, eliminating the need to write accidental symbols (sharps or flats) next to every single note throughout a piece of music.

In a practical setting, the key signature establishes the tonal center of the work. While it suggests a specific scale, it does not forbid the use of notes outside that scale; however, any such deviations must be marked with accidentals within the individual measures.

Meanings

Nounkey signature

A set of sharp or flat symbols placed on the staff at the beginning of a musical composition to indicate the tonic and the scale of the piece.

The composer wrote the piece in G major, so the key signature contains one sharp.
