Ah! I hadn't even gotten as far as thinking about key-change events *within* the scope of the music function, though you're right that those would be an issue too (and your suggestion looks like a sensible way of dealing with them). 

What I was trying to get at was the key that was current before the music function was called. That is, the test case I was thinking about would look like this:

\new Staff {

  \new Voice {

    \key re \major   

    \test {

      do'4 mi' sol' do'' <do' mi' sol'>1

    }

  }

}

Unfortunately, that won't be possible.  The function won't see the key change that happened before it was called, and will assume C major.

To do something like you want, you really would need access to context properties....
