I can't figure out how to override the stencil.  I've been banging 
my head against it for half an hour and I give up.  Here's the 
basic structure of my failed override:

\override Staff.keySignature #'stencil = 
#ly:key-signature-interface::print

But then I just get errors and failures no matter what I put after 
that. I can't find an example anywhere showing a keysignature 
stencil override.  Can someone show me the hocus-pocus for this?
