particulary that in A minor mode this
gives D = 293 1/3 instead of D = 297 of C major. With this we add
a perfect DFA minor chord, so in minor modes minor chords start
on the 1st, 4th, and 5th of the scale, like in major mode where
major chords start on 1st, 4th, and 5th of the scale.

to enforce the tonic/mode system on everybody is wrong.
An explicit key signature is much more general and value free.

Western style tunes (conventional ordering of sharps and flats)
as locrian, which is fine with ABC, which only cares about the
sharps or flats, but that will never give me a viable keynote.
