Key ends under the under lifters etc. That required moving the blocks locating dowels, hold down screw hole and key slip screw and bending the brass fall board in a bit to keep the fall closing with out rubbing. Wow, that is a lot of work. I had to move an action to the bass by 5 mm more than the block would allow, so I cut off the side facing the bottom A, leaving the dowels and screw holes alone.. All I needed to do was bevel the edge, recut the mortise for the guide and spray some black lacquer. It seemed easier than shifting the block.
