The question of fast alternation requires a different solution, because "pizz. arco. simile...." can't be done directly.
For any situations where presenting lots of information is poor printed form, I use invisible expressions. Since later versions of Finale now include a descriptive text, I can define an invisible "pizz." and "arco" patch change and apply them quickly as metatools.
