@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.
