A key signature is use to indicate the auto sharping or flatting of specified notes. Key signatures are also used to identify the key of a composition.

A piece scored using a single diatonic key signature and no accidentals contains notes of at most seven of the twelve pitch classes, which seven being determined by the particular key signature.
