Jack, that's not true. There are a lot of tunes that cannot be notated with standard key signatures, e.g. because they are build on a scale with flattened and sharpened notes at the same time. Consider the D-Ahavoh Rabboh mode, common in Klezmer. The scale looks like this: I II III IV V VI VII I d _e ^f g a _b c' d' How would you notate this without global accidentals?
