I have tried to look in the user's manual but haven't found anything about how Finale can be configured to play back brass muted. I notice that when I enter the word "straight" as a text expression, Finale automatically plays back with a muted trumpet (although it sounds to me more like harmon than straight mute but that's another story...). So far, so good.
However, the same does not happen for cup, bucket or harmon, not even when combining these words with "mute". How does this work? I understand this has something to do with HP, for which I use the style type "Jazz" - I note that when setting for example "None" then the automatic muting of trumpets does not occur. So the recognition of the word "straight" seems to be built-in to the "jazz" HP style. But when looking at the Human Playback Dictionary in the manual this word is not mentioned at all. And, as far as I can see, no idea on how to control this... If this is well described in the manual I would be happy just for an idea what to look for.
