NtEd has such a "--key=..." option implicitely! Assume because of the missing 
key
signature NtEd recognizes:

   either:

      A# C D D# F G A A#

   or

      Bb C D Eb F G A Bb

Click the staff not too close to a measure bar! The staff config dialog
appears. Make sure the "adjust notes" is checked (default) and
select "B flat Major;g minor" and press OK!

In both cases you get a Bb signature at the beginning of the staff
and the scale without signs. Note! If NtEd recognizes:

       A# C D D# F G A A#

NtEd corrects also the lines: A# --> Bb; D# --> Eb

I can't see any problem here.
