Because I think that this case is so special that it does not warrant
a separate syntax. We might change still change the syntax, though,
because pitch objects have recently become Scheme-ized as well, so
maybe you will be able to do.

keySignature = #(map parse-pitch '(es ges bes))

it's a association list, ie. a scheme list of (KEY . VALUE) pairs. KEY
is a the note name (0 = C, 1 = D, etc), and VALUE The alteration.
