That little parenthetical note I suggested, "(for which an A is notated
as ...)" is way too wordy and is itself confusing; sorry. I was just
trying to avoid confusion for a manual reader who did not know that an A
clarinet is notated a third above the pitch the instrument actually
produces.
Maybe the following would be better: "... played on the A clarinet
(which is customarily notated a minor third above the pitches the
instrument produces) ..."
Best wishes. Sorry Graham. I'm subscribing to the bugs-lilypond list now
for future notes/comments/suggestions I may offer for your consideration
as I re-read the manual. ;-)
