Do you mean and keep the midi working correctly?  Otherwise I just have 
the A and Bb clarinet, for example, parts in separate (as many as it 
takes) definitions which I combine with appropriate "transpose"s in the 
score block.  I am a woodwind doubler and can handle all kinds of 
variations with just "transpose"s in the score block.

Right now I don't have working midi so I just trust my very experienced 
eye for that.
