Looking at the PDF example, I can't understand which line is supposed
to be the good one. They both look wrong to me.

When I read music, I want the key signature to be always in the
stereotypical (correct) place, and I don't see a reason (in this
particular music) for wanting to have it like either of those
example lines. I could understand (though not agree with) wanting to
have the key signature always in the same range as the notes that are
going to be printed in that line, but both examples go against that.
Therefore, my question... What is the intention behind wanting to put
the key signatures in a different place? How is it supposed to help the
person reading it?
