A little follow-up question for Chuck or anybody else who knows the answer.
If I purchase the full JABB package and set my instruments under
Kontact, are those settings saved with my Finale score? In other words
the next time I open that score, it will have the same instruments I
assigned through Kontact? And likewise, different Finale scores can use
different combinations of the Garritan sounds, and those settings are
restored automatically each time I open an existing Finale score?
I surmise from this discussion that it is not possible to select
instruments from the full JABB set when creating a new score using the
setup wizard. Is that correct?

I had no trouble using the full JABB sounds. You need to use the
Kontakt Player 2 to get them loaded into the file, and that interface
is nowhere near as clear and elegant as the new Aria Player that comes
with Finale, but it works decently. I'm not sure of this, but the
impression I think I got from Gary was that the Aria player would
eventually be a piece of stand alone software, in which case, perhaps
it will become available for use with the full Garritan sounds and the
Kontakt Player will become unnecessary. Until then, you use the
Kontakt software and the instrument list in Finale, and everything
works smoothly.
My needs are pretty well served by the full JABB, but there are times,
even in my "jazz" work that I need GPO instruments (Horns, for
instance), and the two sets of sounds are easily integrated into a
file using the Kontakt Player software.
