What you say is true, BUT There are three different patterns. 1) Natural minor is 2 flats, on B and E. That's identical to the Bb major key. (standard) 2( Melodic minor is 1 flat on E. 3) Harmonic minor if one flat (E) and one sharp (F). Practically all orchestraters or composers would just use the natural minor, and put accidentals where appropriate.
In the last 20 years I have not seen a non-standard key signature like we are talking about here. Modern classical composers are more likely to do that. bill sinclair billsi...@aol.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
