Description
Your idea
It would be great for Musescore to support Double Bass down to low B, in Europe 5-string basses are quite common which are tuned to B0. Double basses with extensions tend to be tuned to C1 which is the current "Professional" lower limit, but there are no sounds for play back on B0 either so would be great to get these added in too!
Problem to be solved
Double basses are currently set to be C1 as the low note for professionals, but 5-string double basses can play B0 with the open string. Add support for playback for B0.

Research direction
The issue identifies the double bass professional low-note limit and playback as the relevant entry points, but names no files or tests. Start by tracing where the instrument's C1 limit and playback sounds are defined; done means a five-string double bass can play back B0 correctly.
