The problem is actually that any key signature specified containing flats is unsupported in GP4 and GP5 files. Such signatures will either be represented as some number of sharps, which is incorrect (see attached for a GP4 file with all key signatures specified. Bars 1-8 are 0-7 sharps, 9-15 are 1-7 flats, 16-23 are 0-7 sharps, 24-30 are 1-7 flats, and bars 31 and 32 are in C major. Sharp/flat cycle repeat twice for major and minor modes.).

I'm looking at this today as I was looking at key signature specification for GPX earlier, should fix this soon.
