I don't understand remarks like this. No one was ever limited to the soundfont that Finale started providing with Finale 2004. especially when you consider that Finale *didn't* provide it before then. I don't believe it's Finale's job to provide good playback sounds. I understand *why* they feel they have to provide good playback, but I don't support it myself. GPO integration with Finale is a complete non-issue for me -- it neither makes me want to upgrade nor discourages me from doing so. But that's because I've had sounds available to me for a long time that I consider superior to the "little kazoo band." I'd much rather MakeMusic were investing their time and energy in something else, but, as with so many things, I'm not the target audience. -- David W.
