Yes, it seems the order is correct, it just looks strange because I’ve never seen such a key signature ‘in the wild’. > I'm not sure however in which cases it really should make sense to have such > keys as general key signatures. Of course these keys occur (although > sparingly) in real music, but usually only temporarily. I appreciate the difference between sharps & flats more than many musicians, but even I would introduce an enharmonic change rather than use a key signature with a double-flat, if only to save time at rehearsal: “Where‘s the B flat?” I explain there’s a B double-flat, and the key is F flat major. “Why didn’t you write E major?” ...to which I wouldn’t have a good answer, and wouldn’t be able to explain to anyone even if I did :-) _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
