It's the opposite for rewriting Bb to A -- go up a semitone.
If you play an open G on a Bb, the equivalent pitch on an A clarinet would be a fingered G#/Ab.›

1)Change the key of the score up one.
If it is written in D, change it to E. See step 3 too.
2)Change each note up a 'whole' tone.
3)Select flats or sharps for the score chosen in step 1
(considering a semitone difference).
For example E flat major or E sharp major.
4)Check accidentals are OK.
p.s.
A player who plays an instrument not made in C should not read a score
aloud calling each note in transposed scores since it makes his sense of real intervals confused: i.e. just say la,la,la. So Paul Hindemith says in one of his book. Too late for me.

If you're playing the Bb clarinet and trying to play a part written in A, you transpose down a half step. If you are playing the A clarinet and trying to play a part written for Bb clarinet, you traspose up a half step.
