Key Signature in the Wrong Place on the Staff

I am entering one of my pieces for orchestra into an international composer's competition, and everything has gone well except one--the music program I have puts the key signtures on the wrong staff lines!! :cool: Is this a real problem or not? Will they go by the lines the parts of the key signature are on, or by the number of sharps or flats?

(If I were judging a competition I would go by the number of flats instead of judging the guy as a nut who has Db and Gb for a two-flat signature, heh.) Please someone who knows reply right away so that I can get this off!

The lines they are on are just as important as the number. If I have a key signature with one flat but place this flat on the A line, we are not in F major, we're in some kind of wacky hybrid of F minor and F major. I suggest you use a different program if possible, or if the worst comes to the worst write in the key signature by hand.

What program are you using?
