As of Finale 2006, separate "arco" expressions for each instrument are not necessary -- HP automatically triggers the correct GM patch or (when using GPO) keyswitch.

GM distinguishes the arco sounds, so long before FinWin 2004, which I currently use, I had an expression library with one pizz. and four arco expressions. The violin, viola, 'cello and bass arcos were distinguished by zero, one, two, and three spaces before the word. Nowadays I would append vn, va, vc and cb in non-printing style.
