Kevin, Check the various instrument names in the Add Instrument dialog first to see what woodwind names would be used for a Bass Clarinet. Perhaps you need to have it exactly spelled and/or with the concert pitch in the name?

I did make the instrument change, but the Bass Clarinet will not sound. I have Sibelius Essentials up and running. It won't even play notes in the clarinet range at and after the point where the instrument change occurs. What to do?

It's a pretty neat feature of Sibelius.
