cancel-location data type

The cancel-location type is used to indicate where a key signature cancellation appears relative to a new key signature: to the left, to the right, or before the barline and to the left. It is left if not specified. For mid-measure key elements, a cancel-location of before-barline should be treated like a cancel-location of left.
