Hi Nils,

In guitar music, where altered tunings are common, a tuning legend usually appears above the first system, on the left of the page. This could be done by abusing the "piece" section of the \header block.

\header {
  piece = "tuning legend goes here"
}

For a single note indication at the beginning of the music, either over or under the first staff, I'd recommend using a \markup on the first note and fine-tuning its position using \tweak #'extra-offset

I have no clue as to make such a mark appear persistently in conjunction with the key signature.

Hello World,

I often work with drone-instruments like bagpipes which need to know how to tune their drones. In 
my handwritten notation I included the Drone indicator below the keysig as simple text 
"A" or "A/E" (without absolute pitch).

It should appear anytime the keysig appears. Key-changes, Start of the Staff 
etc.

How do I do that in Lilypond?

Or do you have any other ideas where a "Drone Signature" could be placed? 
Either as Notes or as Text.

Nils
