You give a perfect example of why we need to improve Lilypond’s implementation.
The method

> \clarinetIPart \clarinetIIPart
> }
not only requires too much overhead/effort, it requires extra workarounds when
key signatures are triggered externally (i.e., in a global variable). Rather,
one should simply be able to say [something like]
clarinets = {
\takeInstrument #”clar.Bf”
%% Bb clarinet music here
\takeInstrument #“clar.A”
%% A clarinet music here
}
and all scores (transposing and concert-pitch) should Do The Right Thing™, with
perhaps a few parameters/switches to help as necessary.
Having engraved at least a hundred multi-instrumentalist movements from my own
music (for both classical and musical theatre orchestras), I can report with
great confidence that Lily’s current built-in implementation is frustrating to
the point of insufficiency.
Cheers,
Kieren.
