Hi Simon,

you're wrong.

There are two _different_ entries in \with { ... }
The first adds the Ambitus_engraver to the Voice.
The second sets the keySignature to an empty list on voice level and
is _read_ by the Ambitus_engraver.
keySignature is _always_ read by that engraver, setting it to an empty
list results in printed accidentals.

Better readable would have been:
\with {
  \consists "Ambitus_engraver"
  keySignature = #'()
}

Cheers,
  Harm
