Scale Midi Volume/Velocity with the Midi Tool for playback and use Smart Shape hairpins in the score. 2. If you have Executable Shapes set up, then use a either a non-printing expression with a Smart Shape hairpin or a printing "cresc." (maybe with a SS dashed line) to do the same. I prefer this kind because the expression can be placed with a metatool click. In all seriousness, let's see that Sib articulation/expression/playback effect that's not possible to do in Finale.
