Thanks Aaron- good info. Sites all checked and noted. Sad about Jari! I seem to remember he was the first guru who ever answered one of my dumb questions!- back in '95! As I recall he 'spat the dummy' (Aussie expression!) a while ago about something- then came back again. Hope he gets back on deck- a very clever bloke! Cheers K in OZ

It attempts to apply a certain configurable amount of interpretation to the playback of a score in Finale. As has been recently pointed out, for example, if it sees the word 'accel' it tries to speed up until it reaches the next definite tempo marking. It also introduces a certain amount of rubato into the playing so that notes don't sound robotically on the beat. There's some more info at <http://finalemusic.com/finale/features/hearyourmusic/humanplayback.aspx> >What is GPO- obviously not General Post Office, or Global Positioning >Something. Garritan Personal Orchestra <www.garritan.com>, a library of sampled orchestral sounds which can be used with Finale. Fin2006 includes a lite version of GPO with the program. >Is there a "Glossary" somewhere which lets bunnies like me know the >latest in the ACRONYM and Technotalk department?

That would be MOTU <www.motu.com> which makes various kinds of audio software. >PS I'm also glad Randy is still on deck- but what's this I hear about Jari? Jari got fed up with the recent Sibelius threads/let's-get-back-to-Finale threads/delete-the-messages-you-don't-like threads and has apparently unsubscribed. He does this periodically, which is a shame for us because he's very helpful and knowledgeable.
