2) Why does the bass clarinet in GPO only go down to (concert) B1? Many bass clarinets these days have an extended range down to low C, or concert Bb1, and many scores call for this note, so it seems like you ought to support it.

Hmm, do you mean B2, which is two octaves and a note below middle C? Or are you using a different system, like Yamaha uses, where C4 is not middle C?
I have always assumed (and marked it on a piece of tape on my MIDI keyboard, so I don't forget) that C4 is middle C, and the B a semitone lower is B3.
And this is why I still use the good old Helmholtz notation! A standard needs to be standard, or it does no good!!
