That's a separate key, just like K:Am > >K:A_B has a tonic and a key signature, which is _B > Hm. I assumed in K:A_b that the _b is a modifier to the K:A, so that this is a 3 sharps + 1 flat key signature. I can't have dreamed that up, surely? >K:_B has no tonic, but a signature, which is _B. Maybe it's F or Dm. That one's logical.
