Jack asked  whether anybody's software supported only one key signature per
tune.

Well I don't.

Muse has a general policy of trying to do something that is usually
acceptable and doing it automatically.  This means that it will not please
people who want to make their printed page look exactly like someone else's
[perhaps they want Paint Shop Pro or a photo copier ;-] but does eliminate a
lot of mistakes.  Not only does it put a key signature at the start of each
line, but in the event of a change which removes some sharps or flats will
print to the left of the first key signature of the new key, a natural for
each one that has gone away.

Of course it's one of those things that I could definitely argue either
way - but that was how I felt when I coded that part!
