Some abc programs have supported this for several years already. I've used it occasionally, though not very often. It's most useful for notating fragments of music, for example in documentation and tutorial docs. Implementing it is usually trivial, as it maps internally to the same thing as K:C. The only real advantage of K:none is that it doesn't match when you search for K:C (or K:Am or K:Ddor). Of course, just "K:" alone also works for this. Most software should support that, too, by mapping it to the same thing as K:C internally. To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
