Let me add to the list. We played "Blue Danube" this year, from a new
"scholarly edition" (Doblinger?). The C part was replaced by a Bb part. I
had to chase after the old part and "fix" it.

Our parts to Leonore #3 now contain only Bb parts. Original in C.

Our Kalmus parts to Beethoven 1 have a Bb only part for Clar 1, but a
Bb/C part to Clar 2. Go figure!

I'm sure I've forgotten some.
