Re: Getting ridd of annoying changelation key sign

[Mats Bengtsson]

Please always include a small example that illustrates your problem.
It takes extra time to try to figure out exactly what your problem is
and what aspects are relevant.
I hope you agree that in normal situations where you have a key change
to C major, you need a key cancellation sign, even if you don't use it for
other key changes. This motivates why setting printKeyCancellation = ##f
doesn't (and shouldn't) work in this specific case. However, you can still
remove it from the output by making it transparent:

\once \override Staff.KeyCancellation #'transparent = ##t
\key C \major
