I agree. That's exactly what I do for playback. And when I open my Finale-generated MIDI file in Digital Performer, all of my repeats are played correctly (provided I configured them correctly), and HP creates a tempo map that follows rit. and accel. markings, as well as fermatas. I can then fine tune the MIDI file, and have it played by <any> combination of sounds, only limited by my computer's ability to handle it. Finale will <never> be able to give the user all of the features that a dedicated sequencer/audio recording program offers. In my opinion, anyone who thinks they can <ever> do it all in Finale is just dreaming. And why should you? It's a <notation> program.
