Re: Key Signature name in Markup

[brob2684]

Hi Harm,

I hadn't really thought about no key signature as being an issue, but I can
certainly see how it can cause confusion.

I think you are correct in suggesting "no key signature present" would be
the appropriate output, although I'll admit I'm unlikely to ever come across
such a case in my use of lilypond.

Regards,
brob
