For what it's worth, I totally agree with Phil.  The K: should force people 
to identify the tonic.  K:G or K:Em is much better than K:^f.  When the 
tonic seems to change throughout the piece, the usual practice is to use 
the starting tonic.

I don't think the abc standard should allow K:^g _a ^b
