That's the point of leaving the expressions undefined -- otherwise,
you *would* need two sets of expressions, one for the Finale

Playback is able to automatically interpret them correctly depending
on which playback method you have selected.
But what does HP do with them for *other* output destinations, GM or
not?
The Finale SoundFont is GM-compatible, so I *think* HP will correctly
interpret "pizz" and "arco" when sending to any other GM synth or
soundfont. (I don't have an external GM synth or GM soundfont to test
this on, though.)
If you have a non-GM external sound module, then yes, you will need to
use different expressions for playback via that vs. playback via GPO.
It's not reasonable for HP to know about the idiosyncrasies of every
possible external playback device.
However, if Finale ever introduces a user-editable Human Playback
dictionary, then you could customize how HP handles expressions for
your own setup.
