Oh, I agree that it's much easier to manage with fewer definitions,
but for those of us who've been defining playback already, we crossed
that hurdle a long time ago!

Well, that raises a host of questions for me.
I had thought that the whole advantage of MakeMusic integrating GPO
into Finale was that it gave you extra control over GPO when using
Human Playback.
If HP works with any GM synthesizer, what's the advantage of GPO,
then?
Or does it work only with the Finale Soundfont?
Or does it work less completely with GM synthesizers instead of GPO?
