Using Different Keys in the FoxDot live coding environment for Python

Question

So lately, I've been trying out FoxDot for live coding music, and it's great! There's only one problem...keys.

You can change the scale simply by doing something like:

scale=Scale.minor

but it seems everything starts on C. Like what if I wanted to do an E major scale? How would I change the key to that.

It has got a whole list of scales, which can be accessed by:

print(Scale.names())

but it's all in the key of C.

I feel like there's some huge disconnect between what I am thinking and what I should be thinking.

If anyone wants to help out, That would be greatly appreciated. The docs can be found at https://docs.foxdot.org/

I tried registering for the message boards at foxdot.org and it suspected I was a bot, for whatever reason. This is the only place I can get help.

If you want to change your key, just type :

Root.default.set(3) # identical as Root.default.set("D#")
