I have made sure the expressions are not defined for playback and that HP is
on but the problem is still there (ppp even if I specify ffff). How does HP
determine what to do when it encounters an expression?
Regards,
Michael

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.

Noel,
Sorry for not being clear enough. The pizz. was taken from the default
set, but since I could not find an arco to counteract this, I set up my
own. What playback parameters should I create for this? I have found it
confusing because there are the parameters that work the "old" way and
those for VST / GPO instruments. I would like to use GPO.
Regards,
Michael

About the situation you describe:
I have just started (~30 bars) entering a work into Finale [2009] and I
have a problem with volume. There is a short passage of pizzicato
followed by a return to arco (the work is for string quartet and uses
VST instruments). The volume in the arco section is very quiet. If I
change the dynamics to ff, it makes no difference, but if I remove the
pizz. indication from the previous section then the volume is as
expected. Is this a known bug and is there a solution?
You don't specify the source of the pizzicato and arco expressions you
are using, that is, whether you used the ones included in the default
expression library, whether you created your own, or whether perhaps you
got the expressions from some other source. In any event, what you
describe sounds to me to be what I would expect if the "pizz."
expression was defined for playback, and the arco expression either was
not defined, or was defined using a different parameter.
And I would not expect dynamics to have an impact on the sound, unless
the controller modified in the "pizz." expression was Key velocity,
