[JW Lua] Setting Independent Key Sig to true still not working ?

[Jan Angermüller]

Jari,

there have been some mails and updates to JW Lua about independent key 
signatures in the last year, but the basic bug from more than one year 
ago (see mail, code snippet and video below) seems to still exist: it's 
not possible to change a staff to "IndependentKeySig=true".
Although Independent Elements->Key Sigs in the Staff dialog is checked 
after running the script, the staff doesn't behave as "independent". 
Every key change - manually in the dialog or through JW lua - is always 
applied to the full score.

It would great if you could have a look at it again for the next beta. 
Probably it's only a flag that's missing somewhere.

Best,
Jan
