Well, one could try something like

\version "2.19.16"

\language "english"

global = {
  \key d \major
  s1*4
  \key f \major
  s1*4
}

\addQuote "global" \global

clarinet = \relative c' {
  \transposition bf
  e4 ^"Cl. in Bb" fs gs a |
  b4 cs ds e |
  R1*2 |
  \transposition ef'
  c4 ^"Cl. in Eb" d e f |
  g4 a b c |
  R1*2 |
}

<<
  \new Staff \with { instrumentName = #"Clarinet" }
  \quoteDuring "global" \clarinet
>>
