I've had mixed success with accel. & rit. markings. Sometimes it
works fairly well. Other times, it does nothing. Most of the time,
it doesn't make a smooth transition from one tempo to the new
tempo. Perhaps it doesn't work well over short distances (2
measures or less?), with changes that are too subtle or too extreme,
or generally with more complex music? I haven't found a pattern -
like with most of the HP bugs - which might explain why they haven't
been fixed.
I wish I could use expression shapes along with HP. I half-recall
reading that it is possible now (???), but it simply doesn't work for
me at all.
Back with FinMac2004, I started communication with MM about playback
issues, but quickly began to realize I was spending more time testing
their software rather than using it for my own productivity.

Human Playback usually does it pretty well. Just
make
sure to have an expression at the end set to the
desired target tempo, and put the accel expression
where you want it to start.
I don't understand how to do this. Target tempo, OK,
but how do I
define the accel expression so that it will trigger
the accelerando?

You leave it undefined. That's HP's job. It's supposed
to look for the word accel (or variations of it) and
then look forward to the next tempo marking (if any)
to determine the tempo curve. If it doesn't do that,
report it on the Finale forum as a bug for Robert and
send it into customer support.
I set up a test with note expressions just now and it
worked fine. It should also work with measure
expressions.
