I agree that clear communication of the composer's intent, IN THE MANNER THAT THE PLAYER UNDERSTANDS, is primary. > Thus, you seem to be deriding what you > say you believe in most. Quite the contrary. I am saying the traditional ways of displaying key signatures or key changes are what most players understand most readily. Changing them to something different is changing them to something that most players understand less readily. All I can tell you is that I regularly and repeatedly receive compliments from my customers on the readability of the music I sell, and that I have never had one single complaint about my use of accidentals or the method in which I engrave key changes.
