Is there any reason to make the behaviour of time and key signatures
different to clefs?
I vote for adjusting the code so that it follows the documentation,
probably by adding `forceTimeSignature` and `forceKeySignature`
properties, both for orthogonality and a way to retain backward
compatibility.
