John, I'm pretty sure that's not coming until Finale 2007. There are at least three software companies involved here, Garritan, Native Instruments, and MakeMusic, and I know that the coordination among the three is time consuming and slows the release of new features. Gary has indicated as much.
Big admission - I wasn't paying it any attention. It must have been doing its job. Nothing offended me, but I didn't notice anything either. Sometimes I really don't like movie music, and sometimes I am attracted to it (even to the detriment of the drama - like Diane Reeves' just about perfect jazz singing in "Good Night and Good Luck"). The last one I paid attention to was the title music for a Tom Hanks movie (he played an FBI guy chasing a young con man), the name of which escapes me, which was written by John Williams. In both of these cases, the music is doing a different job than "underscoring." Sorry, I feel a little foolish for not having noticed, but the director would be happy that I was too involved in the drama, and with my 9 year old grandson's reactions. On a parallel subject - much TV music I find OK to horrible, but I'm curious about where CSI found that "Whooooo are you?" song that they use as a theme - my knowledge of pop music has large gaps, - and I recommend checking out the original theme music for "The Medium," which startles me with it's sophistication and beauty.
