I succeeded very well to get the quartertone stuff entered into Finale (and I now understand why some people prefer Speedy without MIDI keyboard). Although playback is not really important to me, I do wonder whether it is theoretically possible, without having to add expressions to every note

The easiest way to get microtonal playback within Finale is to set up a non-standard key signature in Finale, and then play to a synth via a midi retuning relay program. I use InTun (which can be found at http://rainwarrior.thenoos.net/intun/index.html ), a realtime midi retuning program by
