So the idea would be that the key signature is valid over all octaves,
and the octave specification is just for printing the signature itself.
That would likely imply having to redo the octaves manually for clef
changes.  But at least it is behavior that makes some amount of sense.
I think I'll pick that interpretation.  It will require several code
changes.
