Hello,
Please try to make a minimal example. Usually when trying to reduce your score to a minimal example showing the issue you might find the solution yourself.
I suggest you to use the last version (stable or unstable) because 2.20 is not the latest.
You need not have a Staff named "clarinet1" if you want something to align above it.
I haven't found any \new Staff = "clarinet1" in your code...

I guess that's because your transpose is applied to your key signatures as well.
\transpose bes c' for a score in B flat major (\key bes \major) lead to something in C major, hence no key signature.
Take your \global out of the transpose if you want to keep a B flat major for your separate parts as well (but this is not standard practice AFAICT, both the notes and the key signatures are transposed usually).
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
