I think I was tricked by the following bug that I have noticed: if you
set an instrument, play it, then start a new score then as you enter
notes it is still sounding the instrument you set on the old score. The
reason is fluidsynth has not had that channel re-set. Clicking Reset
does this.

I haven't fixed that bug, but I've added a MIDI Instrument command
(after the Short Instrument Name command) and used it to update the
Clarinet in Bb Instrument template. Now it (reliably) plays as a
clarinet in the Playback View.
