Unfortunately I'm not very musically literate...oops... but an example
would be C-Major, with C as the key, and major as the scale (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_major ).
So is there a use case for say one part (ie woodwind) in a composition
outputting notes of one key/scale while another part (ie strings)
simultaneously outputs notes of some other key/scale?
I'm wondering how people would rate the importance of being able to do that.

Hi,
I'm just wondering how you would rate the importance of program which
dynamically assigns pitch and velocity to incoming events to be able
to work with multiple key/scale simultaneously?
It's a bit of an experiment but I'm thinking it might be useful in
live situations for the electronic/dance/glitch/etc orientated
musician, but it might also happen to work out as a fun/toy program
for people play|learn-ing about music and scales (possibly).
Would anyone consider output of notes in multiple scales important in
either of these situations?
Thanks,
James.
I am interested in modes (western) ie ragas (Indian) and in alternate
tunings.
Im not sure what you mean by scale in this context.
I recently had a discussion with the musescore folks about scale ie key
signatures:
Evidently in musescore one can enter non-standard (by western standards) key
signatures like only an A-flat (rather than the usual B-flat) or even an F-#
and a B-flat etc.
But it does not 'understand' these key signatures when playback-ing.
ie with standard western signatures it plays the correct notes but with
these 'home-made' signatures it just plays everything natural.
Dunno if all this has anything to do with anything you are asking.
