This is not hard to implement at all, you just have to set things up appropriately. I also always write at concert pitch, and I use a combination of \transposition and \transpose so that the part is printed with the correct transposition. Here's roughly how I do it: clarinetIPart = \relative c'' { ... % clarinet music here } clarinetIIPart = \relative c'' { ... % clarinet music here } clarinets = new Staff { set Staff.instrumentName = #"Clarinets in B\flat I, II" \transposition bes \transpose bes c' \partcombine \clarinetIPart \clarinetIIPart } The music in \clarinetIPart and \clarinetIIPart is written in concert pitch. Later on, \clarinets is used to create the conductor's score with the right transpositions applied. A similar setup is used for generating parts for the individual clarinets with the right transpositions. Of course, all this can probably be encapsulated in a convenient macro that takes a single argument specifying the transposition relative to c', and generates the requisite commands to make it all work.
