This discrepancy is actually what led to my question. Why does LilyPond
notate it one way, while this image shows another? (My research has
shown at the image you provided was custom made in MuseScore.)
Although G♯ major is enharmonic to A♭, there are still pieces that use
these "theoretical" key signatures (one brass quintet piece is actually
in F♭), and I'm wondering if there's an official source that determines
how they are to be notated.

Hello, list,
how does LilyPond create the key signature for Gis major?
I've attached a file to compile the key signature, which results in:
C#, G#, D#, A#, E#, B#, and Fx. It is interesting to me that the key
signature begins with C#, and the Fx is placed at the end.
I'm wondering if there's a resource the developers used (perhaps a
notation manual) that gave a rule for how key signatures with double
accidentals should be formatted.
Hi,
What about this Wikipedia image showing the key signature order of
sharps + double?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-sharp_major#/media/File:G-sharp-major_e-sharp-minor.png
...it looks like the double sharp is in the right spot, but even
still, could you just use the more common - enharmonic key of *A♭
major* instead?
