I think he meant to say velocity can't make a sustained note get any
louder once it has started, like a crescendo.
There ARE many expressions that change the attack velocity - if you
have duplicated one of these expressions to edit and use in another
situation, you might have inadvertently assigned a playback value
that you didn't want. I did this once with an Adagio that I edited to
be Cup Mute, and couldn't understand why my score slowed down every
time it got to bar 53.
Check your expressions, and use the mixer for your major balance
issues, as Darcy suggested.
This is one of the things that everyone thinks should be a "gimme",
but balance is a very delicate matter and you can't expect the
machines to do it properly without tweaking. Major orchestras that
have played together for years still need tweaking, so we have to
adjust our expectations for Finale GPO. Right out of the box, the
horns are way too loud and the trumpets are way too soft, the flutes
are way too loud... I could go on for a while...

Velocity does affect the attack on sustaining instruments -- it
does make the sound louder --- try it you'll hear.

Velocity does not affect the volume of sustaining instruments in GPO.
