[MEI-L] Key or signature change at the end of the line

Hi Etienne, All,

I think currently the common assumption is that such logic belongs to the
rendering engine. But I see your point in trying to flag this in the
encoding.

I agree with Laurent, encoding the clef twice (in theory you could use the
<clef> element as a child of <layer>) is not a good idea. But thinking
further from your question, it occurs to me that jazz charts would often
display the clefs and key signatures at the beginning of the piece only,
which I reckon should be encoded somehow...

Similarly to Don, I also think that an attribute on the scoreDef could be
the best candidate for such purposes.
