I am not replying directly to the list member who wrote the 5-minute crescendo comment because I deleted the message, and then thought to respond.
A crescendo in Finale: select MIDI tool (a keystroke); select region; apply scale of key velocities or volume controller. Done in 10 seconds. What's the big deal? If Finale were to automatically apply values, I would not like that. Are the default values the same for all staves? What is the starting value and the ending value? How much crescendo over how much time? How can the program know what will be relatively musical? If it takes a stab at it, I will have to change the parameters in most cases. I haven't yet tried Sibelius myself, and it may have some surprisingly ingenious scheme for this that floors me, but I doubt it. I prefer not to have the program attempt to create what I think is appropriate playback values. Still, there are things about Sibelius' MIDI implementation in general that should be inspirational to Coda programmers!
