At the syntax level it's easy to dream up something logical:
K[+/-][trans amt.][+/-][new key]
applies to the whole score
Ki[instrument #][+/-][trans amt.][+/-][new key]
applies to this instrument, overriding whole score
KIi[instrument #][+/-][trans amt.]
applies to this instrument's MIDI output (default: no transposition)
KSi[instrument #][+/-][sharps/flats]
instrument-specific key signature, overriding isig
needed at start of score since transposing 0 semitones will print the
old and new key signatures.
Those terrible piano pieces (Scriabin? Rachmaninov? I forget) that notate
the two hands in different keys will have to be notated as one instrument
per hand :-) Didn't the formidable Serge occasionally write piano music
on three staves, or is that only the poor editor's attempt at making it
playable for people with normal hands?
