Re: best way to code music with instrument-switch

Hmmm... unfortunately, that makes for (slightly) more work and  
(slightly) less-maintainable code. However, it does give me an idea:  
perhaps one could use \tag in the \global section to control key  
signature presentation on a per-instrument basis.

In any case, we should really -- as a community -- come up with a set  
of "best practices" (or at least "guidelines"), since this is a  
situation that is both common and somewhat complicated to handle in  
Lilypond.

A year or so ago, I sponsored a feature which was related to this...  
it might help us here.
Han-Wen: what ever became of the whole instrumentSwitch sponsorship?

Cheers,
Kieren.
