Or if you are planning on sharing your file with someone whose computer

Thus the need for two different scores at least. Until or unless you
know that the only people who will be hearing your Finale files will be
using GPO playback only.
NO. Look, I don't know how many times I need to say this:
In Finale 2006, you do NOT have to make an additional version of the
score for soundfont playback. Provided you use the Setup Wizard to
create your score (or manually set up the score correctly), the EXACT
SAME VERSION OF THE SCORE will play back just fine using *either* HP
plus either the Finale Soundfont *or* HP plus GPO. You do NOT need two
different versions of the file.
And for someone using an external playback device with 16 channels? How
will having channels 1-8 and 17-24 be responded to on a device which
only recognizes 1-16?
Not everybody has the latest/greatest computer equipment, some actually
think hardware modules sound better.
But for whatever reason, if sharing a file with them, changes will have
to be made. Changes which won't work with GPO.
Thus the need for 2 files.
