there are more options to do this, eg.

there's no mess - you want a staff with an even number of staff lines
against an odd number before - this must be dis-/mis-located. 

having the staff lines dislocated by half a staff doesn't make sense to me
(how would you play or read this for a melodic instrument?) 

obviously LP draws the staff line from one bar to the next (which I consider
reasonable) and when there's a time or key change this is displayed before
the staff stops.

not sure it's *my* example

why should it not leave the accidental in its "natural" place which is
determined by certain horizontal spacing rules (which are well documented in
the docs, imo)? 

if you think there should be other rules for all this, would you like to try
to gather them in a - maybe - simple (scheme-) function?!
