I was working on a project in Dorico and needed a circle of 5ths chart that was vectored, so I created this one using MusGlyphs. Posting it as a PDF and SVG so it can be inserted as a graphic into a frame.

Thank you, Dan. This will come in handy for a scale book I’m working on.

That’s great!
Did you create also the radial circle with MuseGlyph?
No, I made that in Affinity Designer.

Great @dan_kreider !! You can add all that circle into your MusGlyph font, yes, you’ll need to resize it, and maybe assign a key shortcut to something like: cir5, then the user will need to set the font size to 100pnt or 150pnt.

Thanks Dan. Most kind of you.
Here’s the circle of 5ths file I shared, printed in a recently published singing book for schools:

Nicely done, and it’s very kind of you to share and offer use of it, @dan_kreider!
Nice work. But is there a reason why the C is not on the 12 o’clock position? Perhaps there is a cultural difference but I only know circles of 5ths that way.

Not quite sure what you mean by “cultural difference,” @VIPStephan, but I was also struck by the +15° rotation from the standard appearance in theory textbooks, etc.
By “cultural difference” I meant like in Germany we say H for the note B and B for Bb. I thought maybe in North America this is the way to display a circle of fifths.

It is for Dan now. I don’t see a problem with it.
My (North American) experience of many years has been “C/A minor at 12:00.” But, like @Derrek , I see no problem with shifting it +15°. These things are all arbitrary, after all.

Here in a search I see say five percent as per the OP’s post, and the rest with C/Am centred at 1200:
There’s no ISO standard
