David, It was just an example. I hope that I don't have to make every statement exhaustive so that you don't have to quibble. The point is that, Finale passes the data (Midi or whatever) to system modules that use other common system resources.

I don't mean to quibble with your underlying point (though I have minor reservations about the way you've described it), but you are *not* correct that Finale's playback uses Windows Media Player or QuickTime. The only way QuickTime could be involved is if you choose the QuickTime musical instruments soft synth as your playback device. In Windows, Finale playback sends MIDI to the MIDI device you've chosen to play back with. So far as I know, there is no intermediary between Finale and the drivers for the synthesizer. -- David W.
