I found that using expressions to set channel pressure in a blank measure at the beginning of the piece did not have any effect whatsoever. I would guess this is because these expressions are immediately overridden by the dynamic indications in the first real measure. Human Playback also uses channel pressure (and velocity) to control volume, so you can't use channel pressure to set relative levels.
What *did* work was, once the piece was complete, using the MIDI tool to reduce *velocities* (not channel pressure) on entire staves (trumpets, guitar, piano). Human Playback was able to incorporate that MIDI data without any trouble.
There really ought to be a mixer, though -- ideally a live mixer you could use to tweak levels in real time, but I'd settle for "set 'em and forget 'em," so long as there's some way of doing it without futzing around with velocities in the MIDI tool.

My 2003 works fine in this respect too, so it seems likely that Human Playback
in 2004 is the culprit. It is probably sending commands to MIDI controllers to
achieve its effects, which is wiping out any data you try to send. If this is
true then you have a straight choice between using HP or sending commands to the
controllers manually - I can't see any way round it.
HP is basically wiping out all user MIDI data using the default configuration. If you select the MIDI Tool while HP is ON for a file you should get a warning message about this (unless you have checked "Don't show this again").
HP in Fin2005 is a bit more flexible regarding MIDI controllers, since you can filter out some MIDI handling in the HP Prefs. And there's also ApplyHP.
