Hi Ming, I'm glad you find it useful.

The new code below will print the name of the key above the standard key
signature. It now uses actual sharp and flat signs in the key names ("Fb"
rather than "Fes"), and the text is smaller.
It should work fine with \include "english.ly" or \language english, but I have
not tried it. You can edit the names of the keys by changing the relevant text
in the following parts of the code. For example change:
#{ \markup \magnify #0.7 {B Major} #
#{ \markup \magnify #0.7 {G\raise #.6 {\sharp} Minor} #
to
#{ \markup \magnify #0.7 {B M} #
#{ \markup \magnify #0.7 {G\raise #.6 {\sharp} m} #
for an abbreviated text ("B M" and "G# m" instead of "B Major" and "G Minor").
I think this has reached the "potentially useful" stage, for anyone who is
still learning the key signatures or wants to know explicitly whether keys are
major or minor.
(Ideally it would be better if it did not print the name of the key signature
above a key cancellation, as with the transition from A# Minor to F Major in
the code below. I would have to figure out how to somehow access whether it
was engraving a key-cancellation or a key-signature.)
Any suggestions for improvement are welcome. I am an amateur hack at this and
stand on the shoulders of giant snippets. :-)
(Like this one http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=233 for this most recent
version).
Cheers,
