I think the only ones you would need to change are ones like pizz,
arco, mute -- that is, expressions that change the sample
(previously, MIDI channel). Anything having to with tempo, dynamics,
etc., should be okay.

Yes, I should have said it doesn't take very long *for each score*.

Yes, it's too bad Makemusic didn't get to this step.

I don't think that's necessarily true. When you install Fin2006, GPO
is actually an entirely separate step. So people who are running on
not-quite-the-latest machines will probably want to skip this and
won't use GPO at all. Similarly, in the new doc wizard, just as you
can choose between Maestro and Jazz, you can choose between GPO (if
it's installed) and Finale Softsynth.

In previous versions of Finale, you could hook things up to whatever
sampler or sequencer or synthesizer you wanted. (So I understand; I
don't own any such creatures.) In Fin2006, you can do *exactly* the
same thing. Exactly the same way.
