Look at the key signatures of the #1 note and sharpen or flatten accordingly.

So, the 2nd group I typed would be the correct triad if I were in that key. I'm trying not to be confusing, but, if I were to play in the key of 'A', then the 3 notes that make it a major triad would be...A-Db(C#)-E, and the minor triad for that key would be A-C-E.

I think :rolleyes:
