This comes up every once in a while. I'm not sure you'll have much luck.

If I had a DBE I'd like to write something along the lines of what vocalist Bobby McFerrin used to do: An abbreviated bass line on the big bell interspersed with a higher register melody on the small bell. The difference in tone might make it sound like a duet.

Or how 'bout this? Transcribe a duet piece onto one line for the double. Try to keep the best of each part with one part on big bell and the other part on the small. With a good accompaniment most people won't know anything is missing.

Good luck.
