K[+/-][trans amt.][+/-][new key] applies to the whole score Ki[instrument #][+/-][trans amt.][+/-][new key] applies to this instrument, overriding whole score KIi[instrument #][+/-][trans amt.] applies to this instrument's MIDI output (default: no transposition) KSi[instrument #][+/-][sharps/flats] instrument-specific key signature, overriding isig needed at start of score since transposing 0 semitones will print the old and new key signatures. Those terrible piano pieces (Scriabin? Rachmaninov? I forget) that notate the two hands in different keys will have to be notated as one instrument per hand :-) Didn't the formidable Serge occasionally write piano music on three staves, or is that only the poor editor's attempt at making it playable for people with normal hands?
