I've just tried:
Staffs/Voices->Add Staff->Add Staff For Instrument

and added a B-flat clarinet. In the Playback View this sounds as a
clarinet.

It sounded like a piano on darwin when I tried it.

 

This has reminded me that there is an opportunity for someone to
contribute here, as Cl in Bb is the only (!) instrument there. I chose
it as it is a difficult example (being transposing).
What we need is a bunch of such files for each instrument
(subdirectories for woodwind etc would be good) with the range set on
each instrument and any transposition they need.

I can contribute to that.

 

I can't say for sure how this is working, though I guess it was me that
did it - does it emit LilyPond syntax to say what the instrument is?

It says the instrument name. I thought it was suppose to have:

\set midiInstrument = #"clarinet"

I inserted this into my lilypond view into the new voice section. 
I still only heard piano sound

 

Does this happen if you do it manually, by Staff->Staff Properties MIDI
tab etc...? Some experimentation is called for...

It is already set to clarinet. I have done some experimenting. I tried loaded the clarinet instrument file. I enter notes and the immediate feedback gave me piano sounds. I tried normal playback ,the old way, and I got a clarinet sound. When I enter notes after playblack the immediate feedback gives me clarinet sounds. I tried the performance view and it was a piano sound.
