You're right, it doesn't. But it ought to be possible to place one voice in a different key by putting a key change right at the start of that voice. Unfortunately, that doesn't work in BarFly either, as it then draws both key signatures, but I think it ought to work. >I like the idea that everything is global, except what is specified on the >'V' line. One exception would be the L: rule, although there still seems >to be the expectation that any L: in the first voice will be 'inherited' >by other voices. In BarFly, all voices inherit the L: value defined (or implied) in the header, but in this case you can change the L: setting right at the start of a voice without affecting other voices.
