Re: [Tex-music] 1 natural key signature
Looking again at the original score, I see that the natural appears only
at the *beginning* of the next movement, not all the way through; that
is, it's treated as a *change* of key signature. That should make it
easier: we just need to put a single natural sign between the clef and
the time signature in one place. In fact, perhaps the simplest approach
is to use
\generalsignature{0}%
\zchangecontext%
at the *end* of the canon movement. Does anyone have any experience with
modern music-typesetting conventions in such cases?

The short answer is yes. Of course. You can always do anything in
MusiXTeX that you could do in TeX itself.

This is a horrible hack. The natural sign (\keychar54) is hardcoded
into the replacement macro. MusixTeX still thinks the piece has four
flats. An internal key change will probably require some more
hacking: just restoring the macro as above will not suffice.

[Tex-music] 1 natural key signature
In one movement of a Boyce trio sonata, there is a key signature of one sharp for one part and no sharps/flats for the others (it's a strict canon); I can typeset that OK. But in the next movement, he uses a key signature with one *natural* on the m line for the relevant part. Is there a way to typeset that in musixtex? The natural has to be placed between the clef and the time signature.
