Actually, that article mentions Rosegarden, which I think is probably what
you need. Here's why:

A bit of playing around showed that Rosegarden is what I want:
* it is primarily a MIDI player/editor/sequencer thingy
* it can also import and play audio (WAV) files
* it understands tempo, and you can mark regions where it should
play back slower or faster. This affects only the MIDI
So, I will have to:
* rip the recording on CD to a WAV file
* import the WAV file as an audio track
* play through the audio, marking beats (this may be time-consuming)
o with a MIDI keyboard, press a key to indicate each beat
o run the MIDI beat extracter tool, which calculates tempo and
sets up the playback speed
* export the string ensemble scores from Finale as MIDI files
* import the MIDI files into Rosegarden
* done
I will try this over the weekend or sometime...
