But, as I said a couple of days ago, much of this has been obviated by the increasing sophistication of Human Playback, which makes it unnecessary to manually edit many volume settings, for instance.
that's the ideal, of course -- to have Finale interpret the notation into correct playback without needing to manually set the MIDI playback. I would feel a lot better about HP if I knew exactly what its parameters were and how I could influence them if I didn't like HP's choices. I can't say that I've spent hours in a discovery process, since I don't have those hours, unfortunately, to devote to discovery. I wish HP were better documented, IOW. My guess (or hope) is that HP will evolve into this type of function--easy user control over key parameters of "humanizing" the music. Does anyone knoe for sure, for ex., if HP humanizes note start and stop times? That's what I like about using Overture--I know exactly what it's doing because I told it what to do. ;-) It knows the key parameters for expressive playback and lets me set their values if I wish. Additionally, Overture responds much more efficiently to VST instruments and effects. It is a full VST host not tied to any one manufacturer.
