Could you _please_ _never_ write an answer or comment in the _signature_
of the original posting?  Sensible mailreaders don't quote the signature
when replying, cutting away all of your content.

Now to your comment:

I don't think it is correct.  If you set the above with \key g\major,
you will notice that the key signature is _not_ repeated with a clef
change.  So there is no visual or logical reason to assume "accidentals
are reset".  If that was the underlying assumption for a clef change,
the key signature would be repeated.
