I noticed that some choices for your key signature are: A#, D#, and G#.

None of these keys are ever found in music that I've ever seen in the last 60 years.

For example, G# would have 6 sharps and one double sharp. But A flat would be
much easier to read. If you showed G# to Hans Zimmer, he would sick his dogs on you.
And he has some really MEAN chihuahuas.

Or A# would have 4 sharps and 3 double sharps, but it does NOT when
I select it. Actually you could use the X symbol for double sharp if that's what's
really intended - it would take up less space. But why do that?
Just use B flat instead ! ! Is someone trying to be "cute?"
Susan Boyle has a piranha pool for people like that.......

As I pointed out before, it doesn't do the transposition correctly, but
even if it did, no one would be able to read it.

I'm also wondering why you have to have Cm as well as Eb.
They have the same key signature. I think it confuses the issue even further.

Another interesting thing -
You don't have an entry for C flat, which IS occasionally found in music.
Ab minor is the equivalent, but when I select that, I get 5 sharps instead.
G flat minor would give you 9 flats, but they would use F# minor instead, since
it's only 3 sharps. The idea is to make it readable.

I think the least ambiguous way to specify the key is say: "One sharp," or
"four flats." That way you only have 15 choices to worry about, and it's
precisely nailed down. So your choices are 1-7 flats, 1-7 sharps, or none.

May I suggest that someone call Eastman and have them verify what I'm saying?
There are some areas where a musically trained person would be able to resolve a
lot of these issues for you that a programmer wouldn't spot.
