I feel like I'm in a 10 Step Program...ok...(taking deep breath)...I play
clarinet and I cannot tranpose. That feels much better ;-)

Seriously, I've never NEEDED to transpose on sight. I'm not a pro. I DO think
that those who aspire to the highest echelons of clarinet playing SHOULD be
able to tranpose on sight. If you want to be the best, you cannot cut
corners. It's like any other profession - the cream rises to the top.
