Finale's Setup Wizard *does* let you choose the exact GPO instrument
you want.
Sure, but with numerous problems:
1) After I leave the wizard, Finale will actually load all those
instruments, which takes a long time if it is a large ensemble.

We started with someone who wanted to use GPO instrumental sounds and
non-GPO vocal sounds, right?
I can think of two reasons for playback: proofreading and producing
demo sound files.
If it's for proofreading, it shouldn't matter what the sounds are,
and organ or clarinet or whatever
I have a friend who has one keyboard exactly like that but without MIDI. It
comes with a sound bank and a small loudspeaker. I have tried to play it and
it is pretty decent. I am sure that it will be more than enough for speedy
entry.
It seems that one company is manufacturing the flexible

It's often a bit more complicated than that, but this is essentially

I am not saying that the setup wizard with GPO doesn't work at all, and
perhaps even have certain benefits in some situations. However, I am

You and I agree on the core issue -- the GPO component of the Setup
Wizard needs a _lot_ of improvement. All I'm saying is that for
people who *do* require GPO playback and *do* work on large
orchestral scores, GPO+Setup Wizard is (by far, IMO) the lesser of
two evils.
Darcy,
You are correct here...since I am creating modern performing editions
from 18th and early 19th Century sacred Latin concerted choral
manuscripts, often autograph manuscripts, I need playback to make sure

I understand and agree with your frustration with the Setup Wizard's
limitations, but since you don't normally work with orchestra music,
I don't think you really understand how time-consuming it is to set
up GPO playback without the Setup

press Play, not when you open the file.
