Thanks for the information. I didn't know that. It could be
useful in a future discussion of how to generate printed
music. It implies that an option to put the entire key
signature into the music rather than at the left of the
staff would have a use to people doing orchestral
arrangements.
I wonder how common this is in band music? I've seen a lot
of music for Bb instruments, and I don't think I've ever
noticed this.
French Horn is a bit of a special instrument in many ways.
