<< Bass Clarinet parts just should not be written in treble clef. Right!! >>

This is ridiculous. The use of treble clef for bass clarinet notation makes
perfect sense---notation corresponding to the fingerings for the instrument,
rather than the pitch. It's the whole point of a transposing
instrument---one notation for the whole family.
