I see you got one correct answer and two wrong answers.
I play and teach the various Bb and Eb saxes and clarinets and I have mixed
up the transpositions often enough. Now to be sure I'm going the right
direction I check myself by transposing both to C.
For instance take the note everybody tunes to in the band: sounding Bb
Bb instruments will play a C
Eb instruments will play a G
It follows that if you are playing an Eb sax part on a Bb clarinet, you need
to play a C when you see a G.
That means a perfect fourth higher and not a fifth. And one sharp more or one
flat less.
You would notice at some point anyway but I thought this little checking
routine might save you some headaches.
Ciao,
David
