Please keep threads on the list so others can benefit.  This has a 
convention of using Reply All even though the person being replied to 
gets two copies.  (I personally don't do this when I am sure the other 
person is subscribed).

The following should apply to the version you using:

1. The \key goes inside the braces with the notes.

2. All notes names including those for key signatures are lower case.

3. You must spell the key words in the \header correctly.

This works:

\header{
 title = "Major & Minor Scales"
 piece = "G major"
}

{
 \key g \major
 g a b c' d' e' fis' g' g' fis' e' d' c' b a g
}


HTH,

Paul
