Hi Johannes,
I basically agree, and this is something I've been trying to impress
upon Tom and Gary. But their vision of the typical GPO customer is
very different from yours and mine. The library is beloved by
sequencer-based tweakers because it's inexpensive and highly
customizable. At the same time, it's an uneasy fit with notation
software because of many of the problems you describe. Robert P.'s
Human Playback goes a long way towards bridging the gap, but he can't
do everything. At some point (hopefully sooner rather than later),
Garritan have to get serious about making their products (or at
least, the Notation versions) work better out of the box, and
MakeMusic need to meet them halfway.
However, this is one area where Finale is actually currently much
better than Sibelius. It would be nice to see MM try to widen their
lead in the areas where they have a lead, rather than always trying
to play catch-up.

The point is, it should work out of the box. It doesn't. It's poor
design, and it is too much hassle for me to even get a reasonable
result most of the time.
