Re: [Finale] 2006b, GPO vs Non GPO sounds

It would have been very easy to link GPO sounds to instruments.txt. All it required was a text file with the linking, which could then be easily edited, just like instruments.txt. The way GPO works in the wizard is different. The staff names are actually taken from the GPO sounds, so I now have English instrument names, requiring me to change every single staff name manually afterwards. Johannes You can edit the gpofullinstrument.txt file (in the FinaleAU folder) in a similar manner to to the way you have edited the instruments.txt file. You can specify DisplayName and InstType here, also SampleFile (starting 9. Notation/). At the bottom the instruments are listed in groups -- you need to edit this list for the names to show up in the Wizard. You should then not need to edit staff names manually. John
