I do have a suggestion: I would add two examples to the section that
shows this clearly.

Warning: key signatures and pitches

Please take a close look at the following examples:

Example a:
    c d e f g a b

Example b:
    \key cis \major
    c d e f g a b

To determine whether to print an accidental, LilyPond examines the
pitches and the key signature. The key signature only affects the
printed accidentals, not the note’s pitch! This is a feature that
often causes confusion to newcomers, so let us explain it in more
detail.
