New issue 2812 by address@hidden: Renaming to distinguish keySignature  
from KeySignature
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2812

There is a property 'keySignature' of each Staff that helps determine what  
accidentals to print before notes, and at the start of each line.
We set it usually with  \key d\major , but can also

  \set Staff.keySignature = #`(( 4 . ,FLAT) ( 5 . ,FLAT))

Then there is a graphical object 'KeySignature' with its own properties  
concerning how to print the key signature, its spacing, which style of  
glyphs, etc.

  \override Staff.KeySignature #'glyph-name-alist =  
#alteration-mensural-glyph-name-alist

Reading some user feedback on the latest manual section NR 1.1.3
 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2012-09/msg00036.html>
I am thinking that it would be wise to rename the property of the Staff,  
the thing we set with \key b\minor, to simply "key"

 \set Staff.key = #`(( 4 . ,FLAT) ( 5 . ,FLAT))
