I'm not sure what you mean. [K: clef=bass] or [K: bass] is legal. > I should have said non-Multiple Voiced Music: ie that which does not > have any V: fields. All your clef definitions are in the Multiple Voice > music section, so how to write the clef for viola music is not clear. The standard says in the key section: <<See section Clefs for details how to change the clef using the K field.>> And in the clef section: <<A clef specification may be provided in K: and V: fields.>> So [K: clef=alto] or [K: alto] will do the job. I guess I should make this clearer in the standard. > "Strange" key sigs such as the above (while clear in > intent) are very non-standard. Are they really > necessary?

Most people on the list seemed to prefer "explicit accidentals" over "global accidentals". Of course, we could introduce a %% directive like %%global-accidentals 1 to change the standard interpretation of the [K:] field. Should I add that?
