Out of curiosity, why not just use a short enough barrel that will be up to pitch when cold and then as it warms up, lower pitch with embouchure until you have a bar of rest to pull barrel out a bit? Then when you know you have other horns to play and the clarinet will be down for a bit, push that barrel in a bit and repeat.
Not a good idea? I mean, all these other ideas of electronics, holding upper joints in your hands, etc, are fine and dandy until you really consider the frequency of instrument switching, the possibility of being on that reed book that is NOT primarily clarinet (clarinet might be a secondary, or even less), and the VERY cramped quarters of a pit.
Maybe I'm off, but seems to me a whole lot of ideas which are fine for a clarinet only job with space, but I don't see them being practical in a pit situation with a book labeled "REED 2" or something of the like.
