The natural a minor scale does not contain any sharps.

But is it a natural scale?

The harmonic a minor scale has the f sharp.

or a harmonic scale?

The melodic a minor scale has the g sharp and the f sharp.

But it also has g and f. So my point remains - ESPECIALLY if it's the melodic scale - how is lilypond supposed to know whether the g and f are supposed to be sharpened? :-)

Those of us who only use \relative (just me?) don't have any problems with cut-n-paste. 
Or is it just that my workflow is more likely to use "\repeat unfold"?

I've got no problem with \keyed, but there is a fly in the ointment here ... 
\keyed a \minor { a b c d e f g a g f e d c b a }

Now is that a g-natural or g-sharp? Likewise the f.
