Shorter barrels won't sharpen the whole instrument equally as the rest of the clarinet is fixed as to the distances the toneholes are from the mouthpiece.

Using a shorter barrel will have the most profound sharpening effect on the LH notes (and even more so with throat notes) as they're nearest the top of the instrument, though the effect of sharpening by using a shorter barrel will decrease as you descend down the instrument as the toneholes are still in the same position, so they can at worst throw the scale out.
