[Finale] Resize noteheads outside standard measure length

[Finale] Finale GPO instrument ranges

Hi all, I ran a score through the Finale GPO for the first time. The results are okay, but unlike the Finale softsynth, the GPO simply drops out when it thinks it's out of range and doesn't render the sample at all (even awkwardly, which is okay for my demos -- better a wrong color than no note).
