Turn Human Playback on and use pizz. and arco expressions that are NOT defined for playback. HP will catch your "pizz." and "arco" expressions and interpret accordingly.
Keep in mind that pizz. volume for GPO strings is absurdly loud, so you will have to use hidden dynamics if you want realistic playback.
