Research direction
Start by tracing how publishing a score to musescore.com builds the piece description and its "Part names" section, using the Contrabass example to follow the instrument classification. Compare the resulting classification with the expected "Contrabass" or "Double Bass" label. Done means published scores no longer list Contrabass as "Woodwinds (other)".
