I'm not trying to throw a wrench in the works, but I do have a suggestion and a few thoughts.
@updaters:
I understand where you guys are coming from, especially as a performer myself; however, I believe Slow is right concerning his argument of arranger discretion, especially when it comes to something as trivial as a key signature. Additionally, Slow is right when he says that Bb minor is not generally accepted in the musical community. Forcing someone to write their song in a key that is not generally accepted is ridiculous in my opinion. As an arranger, he should have the choice to choose the key signature for something as ambiguous and/or preferential as this.
What about a compromise? Slow, would you be willing to add a second page to the sheet? Surely we could tack on a second page and label something along the lines of "easier rendition," or "alternate key." Honestly, I know people that find flats easier, and people that find sharps easier, so I would be hesitant to say something like "easier version" as it pertains to the flats version.
Thoughts, updaters?
