Courtesy key signatures

Under usual circumstances, the key signature for a staff appears only at the beginning of each line, or at a key change. If you want, however, you can force the key signature to be displayed in any measure. You can also hide the courtesy key signature that appears at the end of a staff system (when the key changes at the beginning of the next line).
