Music Notation Program
Why can’t I write a song in B# major?
Why won’t my music notation program let me compose a song in B# major (12 sharps)? I make the accidentals and everything, but after saving and quitting, then continuing later, it keeps putting the song back in C major. Why won’t the 12 sharps stay there?
B# major is an actual key, although very rarely used. I’m guessing the computer program wasn’t designed to recognize such an unusual key.
And I’m not sure what the other guy means by saying B# is C major.

It’s an interactive Circle of Fifths. It has definately helped me to understand the patterns and relationships between key/chord progressions etc.

The key of B# major is extremely complex and quite unnecessary because it sounds like C major. And that by using two sharps and five double sharps. But it exists: in the field of philosophy.
