As far as the simplify key command in Finale is concerned, 6 sharps is as
simple as 6 flats. Combining this command with the correct transposition for
producing Gb major in E major sections (a diminished third instead of a major
second) should provide you with what you need. If you set the Bb clarinet
transposition to:
Simplify Key
Interval: 2
Key Alter: -10
you should get all E major sections transposed to Gb major and all sections in
other keys with the minimum number of accidentals in the key signature.

Concert pitch is E major, thus the Bb Clarinet is in F# major.
I'd like it to read as Gb major. Is there a check box I'm missing in the
score manager dialog? I've chosen simplify key but it doesn't change
anything.
I've created a staff style with the correct Interval and Key Alter values.
But, since the key signature changes frequently, I'd rather just make it a
global setting for this document rather than apply the staff style for each
passage.
(I've already talked with the client about using a Clarinet in A, but it's
not an option, unfortunately...)
Thanks!
