key.accid, key.mode, key.pname

key.accid(optional)Contains an accidental for the tonic key, if one is required, e.g., if key.pname equals c and key.accid equals s, then a tonic of C# is indicated. Value conforms to data.ACCIDENTAL.GESTURAL.

key.mode(optional)Indicates major, minor, or other tonality. Value conforms to data.MODE.

key.pname(optional)Holds the pitch name of the tonic key, e.g., c for the key of C. Value conforms to data.PITCHNAME.
