I have *never* cracked this. The old maps worked as long as you didn't need anything outside General MIDI percussion, but they worked out of the box. But I gave up when VSTs were provided. The default audio output was either silent or unrelated to what was listed. Transposition is disabled (I often want to move one instrument into another position). Converting old scores was even worse, with notes splattered everywhere with endless ledger lines. I simply couldn't figure it out. There was somebody's external tutorial that made it worse. I've never gotten Finale to output the sounds I ask for -- and seriously, I've worked with MIDI since the hardware days of the early 1980s. I've developed sets of SoundFonts, have extensive audio sample libraries, etc. But with Finale, the lightbulb has never come on for assigning the sound I want to output. Finale is the only sequencer that makes no sense to me. It would be really great if Finale shipped with default percussion output that automatically matched the VSTs provided, or, even better, if they would switch to the system other programs use: drag this sound from this library and drop it on this line or space. Done.
