===**Piano tuning and performable scores.**===
Following the circle-of-fifths naming system for 17, the white keys of both pianos are tuned identically, to the (notated) C major scale. The pian called "flat" has black keys tuned to Db Eb Gb Ab Bb; the one called "sharp" has C# D# F# G# A#. This way we get 7+5+5 = 17 notes.

The piano called "flat" has black keys tuned to Db Eb Gb Ab Bb; the one called "sharp" has C# D# F# G# A#. This way we get 7+5+5 = 17 notes. Remember, C# is HIGHER than Db!


In scores with separate staves for each piano, it is not necessary to spell chords with these distinctions; notating intervals in their most common appearance is recommended, e.g. "Eb to C on the sharp piano" rather than "D# to C."

The pianos (baby grands, did I mention playing inside the piano is OK?) will be set up at a right angle, with flats on the left, sharps on the right, close enough that one person could play on both keyboards.
