Atonal with no key signature

• Apr 15, 2020 - 19:39

I am doing an atonal piece for chamber orchestra where a key signature just gets in the way. It's easy enough to give the strings and bass clef wind instruments a key signature with no sharps or flats; but, this gives a key signature with sharps for the trumpets (2), clarinets (2) and french horns (1). What I would like to do is have all the parts have an empty key signature and use accidentals where needed. For playback purposes I would also take care of the transposition within the parts where necessary. Due to the nature of the piece the key signature causes the a fore mentioned parts to be cluttered with naturals.
