Re: transpose or not transpose

Thanks for your responses.
But, if a guitarrist uses a capo his instrument will be raised in pitch, not lowered...
When I wanted to mix guitar and clarinet myself (via recording) I experimented with tuning down the whole guitar one whole step. But it sounded and felt awkward, plus I like the idea that the pitch I think I'm playing is the one that is heard by my tuner.

Yes, a C-clarinet would solve the problem, but I have the one I have and like the sound it makes.

Do I get this right: when someone manageing an orchestra hands out sheets for a piece that the pianist knows to be in, say, g-minor, the clarinetist will get a sheet with his notes written in a-minor. He will then use the fingering he har learned, which will sound g-minor and all are happy, and the pianist need not even know that the clarinetists music is written in a-minor?
