22 tet key signatures - for Paul

Hi Paul

Thought I'd start a fresh page. I've looked at all the standard
pentachordal majors. Forget the previous post. My solution to the fact
that there will be both sharps/flats and naturals in the same key is to
have an up or down slash on the key signature flat or sharp sign itself,
if it is an arrowed note that is flattened/sharpened. And a normal flat
for unarrowed flat notes.

This means there will have to be naturals in the music, which I think
you were referring to last post, but I didn't twig - sorry about that.
And unlike in conventional notation the naturals might have to be
notated each time they appear. I don't know about that yet.

Now the only problem I see is dealing with 'keys' with the same
signature. So far I have four pairs and one set of four that look alike.
Perhaps I could put the notes that will have naturals in brackets
alongside the key signature but I think I'll try sight reading before I
speculate any more.

Kind Regards
a.m.

can you show all of these on a webpage somewhere?
