LOCK is a function that locks part of a keyboard's keys into a distinct mode of operation, depending on the lock settings selected.[1]

Description [ edit ]

Most keyboards have three different types of lock functions:

Number Lock – Num Lock . Allows the user to type numbers by pressing the keys on the number pad, rather than having them act as up, down, left, right, page up, end, and so forth. Usually located in the upper left corner of the number pad. . Allows the user to type numbers by pressing the keys on the number pad, rather than having them act as up, down, left, right, page up, end, and so forth. Usually located in the upper left corner of the number pad. Capital Lock – Caps Lock . When enabled, letters the user types will be in uppercase by default rather than lowercase. Located at left end of the keyboard, above the left shift key. Also while Caps Lock is engaged, typically the shift key instead adjusts the now-capital letter keys to type in lowercase. . When enabled, letters the user types will be in uppercase by default rather than lowercase. Located at left end of the keyboard, above the left shift key. Also while Caps Lock is engaged, typically the shift key instead adjusts the now-capital letter keys to type in lowercase. Scrolling Lock – Scroll Lock. In some applications, such as spreadsheets, the lock mode is used to change the behavior of the cursor keys to scroll the document instead of the cursor. Usually located to the right of the function keys. Some laptops and compact keyboards also have a Function Lock - FN Lock. On these devices, a Fn modifier key is used to combine keys to save room and add non-standard functionality; a common use is merging the row with keys F1- F12 with keys that adjust settings such as display brightness, media volume and playback, and keyboard illumination. Fn Lock toggles the default output of these keys.

Location [ edit ]

The lock keys are scattered around the keyboard. Most styles of keyboards have three LEDs indicating which locks are enabled, in the upper right corner above the numpad. Some ergonomic keyboards instead place the lock indicators in between the key split. Some brands of keyboards have a function mode key (also called F mode or Office Lock), and may replace the scroll lock indicator with an office lock indicator. Office Lock, when enabled, will enable alternate functions of the function keys, meant for use with various word processing or email programs.

What temperament did Beethoven use?

UNEQUAL TEMPERAMENT Neither did Mozart nor Beethoven or any of their contemporaries. They used unequal temperaments — also known as, you guessed it, Well-tempered. In the Well-Tempered Clavier, Bach celebrated unequal tempered tuning, not today's equal tempered tuning.

danieladammaltz.com - Historical Tuning — Unequal Temperaments - Daniel Adam Maltz

What is equal temperament? It’s a tuning system where the octave is divided into 12 perfectly-equal half steps, or semitones. Another way of imagining it is as a pie. The pie represents one octave — which is divided into 12 equal slices. As a result, the only pure interval is the octave. All the other intervals — 3rds, 5ths, 6ths, etc. — are slightly altered. This means that the interval relationships in every key are exactly the same. But, they are also all slightly wrong, making equal temperament a system of compromises. Our ears have been conditioned to accept these slight imperfections. Today, many musicians are taught that, historically, keyboards were tuned to play in one specific key and would have to be re-tuned to play in a different key. Then, someone came along and invented equal temperament, which would allow for keyboard music to flow freely from one key to another even within the same piece. To celebrate this new, superior tuning method, Bach wrote his famous sets of preludes and fugues in the 24 major and minor keys [The Well-Tempered Clavier] and everyone lived happily ever after.
