Re: [Finale] Key signature question

[Tim Thompson]

In jazz/blues charts, the major (or minor) key signature is always 
used.  If you are talking about a piece to be played by a standard 
jazz-type of ensemble, players would be confused if you used a modal 
key sig. because it would seem to them that you want the piece to be in 
G, but they would immediately realize that D is tonic, and would just 
wonder about who in the world did this arrangement...

OK, you're notating a blues in D -- that's D mixolydian. What's your 
key signature, the standard 2 sharps with an accidental for every C, 
or 1 sharp to reflect the mode?
