Do any of you have advice on how to prevent GPO playback from being
garbled? The piece in question is a piano quintet, so four KS
strings plus one Steinway piano are loaded on channels 1-5.

Here are some strategies that I use in order to play many instruments:

4) Use sounds that use up little memory and system resources while
in Finale, export the file to a good sequencer program, and then
audio record each staff (or track) with your best sounds and
instruments. You might have to record one track at a time. Mix the
result. This is the most time consuming method, but it gets the best
results in the end.
I should add that if you want to export a file to a sequencer and you
want to take advantage of the Key Switching properties once you are
in the sequencer, you can either put these directly into the
sequencer program, or you can load the GPO instruments in Finale.
These won't play properly in Finale because of the strain on the
computer system, but the Human Playback calculations that go into the
exported MIDI file will take those special KS properties into
account. (Make sure you've loaded the Notation KS instruments.)
To sum up, if you've been using temporary sounds just to play the
file in Finale and then you want to use the full GPO package (or
similar) in your sequencing program, load the GPO instruments into
Finale before exporting the file.
