I'm not trying to be argumentative -- just trying to get a professional opinion on common practice! Some of the other posts here suggest that using courtesy accidentals in this fashion might be passe.
For my part, I'm very comfortable reading the new key change without courtesy accidentals. I do like courtesy accidentals for notes, and I like to see them in parens.
What's your "house style" here?
Thanks!

If we're printing music for others to use, I believe it's our responsibility to do everything in our power to make the music legible, and make all the details as clear as possible. Courtesy naturals at key changes are one way of doing that, and it's a way that has been tried and tested for centuries. If it DIDN'T work, then there would be a need to change it. But it DOES work. And if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.
