Very well, but it nonetheless requires multiple instances of a single expression. The Sibelius method of understanding what arco means after a pizzicato and automatically switching to the appropriate patch seems so obviously superior that I can't quite comprehend how people could argue against such ease of use. Indeed, all the responses have basically been on the order "well, it's not *that* complicated in Finale," which is damning with faint praise. -- David W.
