Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create score in C Major
  2. Add another C Major key signature (or a custom key sig with no accidentals, or an atonal key sig) to some mid-score measure

If you want to select or delete that mid-score key sig, there is no way to do so.

Why this is important: these key signatures break multi-measure rests. It is impossible to find out why the multi-measure rest is broken at that measure, and even more impossible to do something about it.

As a solution, I would propose to introduce a concept similar to Dorico's Signposts, which are quite nice.

Regression

No.
