Dean,
As I've said before on the list, you must load the KS (i.e.,
keyswitched) instruments whenever possible, otherwise Human Playback
instructions like "arco" and "pizz" won't work.
[It's stupid that MakeMusic included non-keyswitched alternatives
alongside the KS instruments -- this is going to cause a lot of
confusion.]
In general, it's best to avoid the "Full Strings KS" patch (and other
"Full Strings" patches), unless you are running extremely low on
memory and all your string staves always use the same dynamics,
switch to pizz and arco at the same time, etc. You will get a *much*
better sound using the appropriate section strings for each section
(i.e., "Violins KS", "Violas KS," etc).
When there is no GPO Finale Edition KS instrument available (for
winds and brass, for example), you can use either the solo or section
instruments -- just use whichever variant sounds most appropriate to
your ears.

What differences in sound (if any) should I expect between, say,
solo instrument choices, section instruments, KS instruments
(whatever that means), and Full String choices? In other words,
I'm not sure what to choose for which purposes. Sounds pretty much
like me, no?
