I think there should be a separate step in the setup wizard. I ought
to be able to setup a score for GPO and *assign* GPO instruments but
also choose not to *load* those instruments -- that is, to play
through Softsynth.
No. That's the wrong place for it. It should be a Program Option, as
I said. If you had "Load AU/VST instruments only when needed" checked,
you could set up you score for GPO with the Setup Wizard, have it open
right away (without loading any GPO instruments) and immediately switch
to SoftSynth playback. That's almost as easy as what you described,
and it's better UI, usable in a greater variety of situations (like
loading multiple scores).

It depends how the *unload* is configured. If this is like HP, where
samples are loaded before playback and then unloaded immediately
after,
That's not what I'm proposing.
then I don't think it's a good idea, because you'd have to load all
the instruments each time you press play.
Obviously, that would be bad.
I like the idea of not loading until the first playback, but then
maybe they should stay loaded until you switch docs or press some
button to manually unload them.
Exactly.
Like maybe I'm working on a file, I want to listen to some of it in
GPO, and then I want to get rid of the samples and get some of my RAM
back while I continue working.
Again, exactly. Please suggest this to MM.
