That may be another issue, but there is plenty of 20th century engraving that doesn't cancel the outgoing key signatures at all (except when changing to C).

Not surprisingly, the traditional style seems to persist most in classical music. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
