I'm making a Finale file out of "Weeping song" by Shostakovitch to sort
out a MIDI file for listening and learning purpose.
There are "crescendo" and "diminuendo" expressions that I am not able to
recreate in Finale.
For example, I create a "cresc." expression, open playback options,
choose the executable shape going from low to high,
choose volume controller, leave fields 1:1 in playback options. Nothing
happens. Try to change to 20:1 or higher. Nothing
happens. Which settings should I apply?


If you consult the controllers used by the designers of Finale to effect the changes assigned to the dynamic levels in the default (text) expression library, it appears that Finale uses the "Key velocity" controller to affect dynamic changes, so the executable shape should change the value of that controller.
