different instrumentDefinition's in score and parts

[Shevek]

The way I typically set up a project is to have a score file for the
conductor's score and each of the parts, all of which \include a file which
contains all the music for the piece. I also have each of these files (the
score files and the music file) \include library files with my various
snippets, as well as a file containing all the instrumentDefinition's needed
in the project. What I want to be able to do is to use different
instrumentDefinition's in the conductor's score file versus the parts
score-files. This would, for example, allow me to have a different
transposition in the conductor's score than in the part. The intuitive way
to accomplish that would seem to be putting \include "instrumentDefs.ly" in
the score file, rather than the music file, but that throws a compile error
because the instrumentSwitch occurs in the music file. I could, I suppose,
just use parallel instrumentDefinition's, and write something like:

\tag #'score \instrumentSwitch "clarinet_score"
\tag #'parts \instrumentSwitch "clarinet_parts"

I was just wondering if it might be possible to do it some other way. The
nice thing about \instrumentSwitch is that it is semantic. Given that the
differences between score and parts presentational (e.g. different
transposition), I'd prefer to just write \instrumentSwitch "clarinet" and
accomplish the score/parts difference some other way. Suggestions?
