Honestly, what's most important to me is where the sharps/flats in
the key signature are placed.
Looking at the PDF example, I can't understand which line is supposed
to be the good one. They both look wrong to me.
When I read music, I want the key signature to be always in the
stereotypical (correct) place, and I don't see a reason (in this
particular music) for wanting to have it like either of those
example lines. I could understand (though not agree with) wanting to
have the key signature always in the same range as the notes that are
going to be printed in that line, but both examples go against that.
Therefore, my question... What is the intention behind wanting to put
the key signatures in a different place? How is it supposed to help the
person reading it?
Some old handwritings have e.g. the f sharp in the keysignature not at
the top line, but between the lowest and second-lowest line. If you want
to create an authentic reprint of the autograph, you might also want to
preserve the way the keysignature was printed...
Cheers,
Reinhold
