If you want to go the extra mile, you'd only print ♮ in key cancellation messages grobs and would precede them with the _previous_ number of sharps/flats. So switching from E major to B♭ major would print 4♮2♭. You would not get 0♮ however (not as a main signature, not as a cancellation signature). This may or may not be what the OP wants. But it would be one semi-consistent way of doing this. -- David Kastrup
