presumably not just the key signature but also any preceding altered
pitches in the same bar. Denemo allows this method of entry by default,
for a series of f-sharps in a bar only the first needs a keypress to say
it is a sharp, subsequent presses of the key "f" enter f-sharps, until
the end of the bar. Of course, it emits the (more verbose) fis syntax
for each note, but it saves typing on entry.
