Hello.

I use the following (assuming that the music contents is in variable
"clarinetNotes" and that the "global" variable namely contains the "\key"
declaration in concert pitch):
1. If the music has been entered in concert pitch:
%---CUT---
\transposition bes {
\transpose c d {
<<
\global
\clarinetNotes
>>
}
}
%---CUT---
2. If the music has been entered in Bb-clarinet pitch:
%---CUT---
\transposition bes {
\transpose bes c {
<<
\global
\transpose c bes {
\clarinetNotes
}
>>
}
}
%---CUT---
Best,
Gilles
