The first thing I thought of was to use the line: \layout { \context { \Staff \remove Key_engraver } }And I'd still like to see whether something along those lines could be made to trigger the desired behaviour in the accidental engraver. You know, again, so that the absence of a key signature is given a separate case from C Major.
My preoccupation with simplicity stems from the fact that I am not a programmer and cannot handle the level of detail that a good programmer can, even though I know everything there is to know about C syntax, which isn't much since it is a wonderfully simple language. My desire would always be to leave Lilypond as simple and intuitive as possible as well.
So I am just reminding myself and others that it is a less than ideal solution because it is. In order to use atonicKey, the user must know to set the KeySignature print-function to f and not use it with \midi.
Due to the fact that I understand programming, but am unable to pursue it seriously, it is a dilema for me whether to post to the user forum or the developer forum. Since my comments are intended only to be understood by developers, I stick mostly to the developer forum. But my goal will always be to attempt to make things simple enough that even I can understand them whether as a user of as a developer.

If anything is to be blamed, it is midi which needs to be updated. But is it a low priority and understandably so. Lilypond's paper output will always have the higher priority.If it breaks midi, why don't you just make a separate \score block for midioutput, without the atonicKey command? Accidental displaying conventions shoulnd't make a difference on midi output anyway.Erik
