I succeeded very well to get the quartertone stuff entered into Finale

whether it is theoretically possible, without having to add expressions
to every note or such things. Has anyone managed this? Would this be
possible in any way with GPO, or the softsynth?

I don't think it would be any easier no matter what the playback
device -- you still need to edit the pitch bend data for each
quarter-tone accidental.
Just as a thought, could you create the quarter-tone accidentals as
expressions, with playback set to Pitchwheel? I know that different
patches on different playback devices have pitchwheel response set
differently, but I would think that with a properly edited set of
patches (edit once and re-use) quartertone expressions could be defined
to provide proper playback and might be easier to deal with than
"normal" accidentals.
This is all pure conjecture on my part, but the underlying premise that
Finale needs to send the proper playback data to whatever device it is
playing through holds true. I don't see how GPO or the SmartMusic
softsynth will make any difference.
