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.
