Hi, Well, for all my faults, I have to admit that when I started out entering text into Lily, I found expected to only type "f" when in G Major since I had already specified my preferences in the Key Signature, using fs & ff to make a change from the norm. The current regime does not (as far as my understanding goes!) aid transposition (if you are changing the base key rather than using \transpose). Given that, I can well understand the fellows puzzlement. Can anybody explain why, despite having a "fs" specified by the current key (for G Major), "fs" or "fis" needs to be specified, rather than just assuming that the key fills in the gaps?
