If you need frame-accurate timing, there is some voodoo to be done
with Human Playback to make sure it always plays back with the exact

Sounds to me as if it might be better to SAVE AS a MIDI file and then
open the MIDI file to see what the duration is.
Of course, that only works with a full file -- I've always wished
Finale offered the opportunity to save a selection as MIDI. It would
make it a lot easier to create individual MIDI files from a multi-
movement work that is in in a single Finale file.
Actually, I think I remember the technique now (Darcy had originally
clued me in). You turn off Human Playback but apply it to the
sections you want or the entire piece using the Apply Human Playback
plugin. It stays fixed then. You can also use this technique for
sections that need different styles of playback, like jazz and latin
eighth notes.
