Hi, Paul:

I try to use custon-key-signature in my lilypond score and I did not get the alternative key printed above the traditional key signature.  What is missing in the code below?  I have "\Staff \consists \Custom_key_sig_engraver" in \layout as seen in your sample.

Hi Ming,  It looks like you need to just put \consists \Custom_key_sig_engraver in the \with block for each of the three staves in your score as shown below.  Then you don't need it in the layout block.  The following changes below got it to work for me.

Cheers,
