Nonsense. Lilyond is supposed to be a /notation/ program. The key
signature is and has been for many centuries an integral part of the 
notation. If you follow your own logic you would have to conclude that 
key signatures ought not to be used at all.  But
your argument is merely casuistry anyway. Regards, daveA
