detecting it.
The spelled tonic and the mode.
If the text is not a key name in the given (or detected) system, if it mixes two systems, or if the tonic carries an octave. Use tryParseKeyName where failure is ordinary, such as a key field read on every keystroke.
Parse a key name such as
'C major','gis moll'or'嬰ト短調'.The name is a tonic followed by a mode word, in any of the supported notation systems; German also accepts its hyphenated form (
'gis-Moll'). Without asystemthe name is attributed by detectNoteNameSystem, so a mode word is itself enough to pick one:'B dur'is B flat major while'B major'is B major.German carries the mode twice, in the word and in the case of the tonic (
C dur,c moll). When the two disagree the word wins —'C moll'is C minor — because the word is what the writer said and the case only what they typed. A German name with no mode word is decided by its case alone ('gis'is G sharp minor,'Gis'G sharp major); a bare tonic in any other system names a major key.
