How do I spell "doubling?" Let me count the ways...

I played 1st clarinet a few years ago for a production of the (I think) 2007 revision of Oklahoma. It had a couple of lines of tenor sax (not in the original) in it and the intro to People Will Say We're In Love (originally for Bb clarinet in the chalumeau) was instead written for bass clarinet - written an octave higher, so it sounded exactly the same pitches as the original (which fit perfectly well on a Bb clarinet). It was the only bass clarinet in the book. I can't think of any other reason those extras were added except that the Broadway player got doubling fees for them.
