A non-linear key signature with B#

As far as I know, the non-linear key signature tool can't make a simple scale which uses B#.

The key-map simply doesn't understand it, since the first keyboard note (B#) is tied to C.

By using a custom clef you can make a 'C' look like a 'B#'.

Do you really need to use a non-linear key signature?
